We were honored to welcome back five alumni for our inaugural Alumni Career Panel on April 11, 2025 — a meaningful event that brought inspiration, insight, and connection to our campus community.

Thank you to:
 Sean McGovern (MDHS ’12) – IT & Cybersecurity
 Gabrielle Kuipers (Brown) (MDHS ’13) – Finance
 Natalie Brown (DCHS ’16) – Finance
 Brooke Buchan (DCHS ’15) – Associate Attorney
 Adam Mangold (DCHS ’17) – Anesthesiology Resident / Medical Student

Each alum shared thoughtful reflections on their careers, the transition from high school to college, and the paths that led them to where they are today.

We extend our gratitude to sophomore Michelina Roche for serving as our moderator!

Following the panel, our guests reconnected with former teachers, explored updates around campus, and engaged even further with students:

 Brooke joined Mrs. Vatter’s AP Government & Political Science class and recorded a special podcast episode (coming soon)

 Gabrielle and Natalie visited Mr. Friscia and Mrs. Kearns’ Bloomberg Finance and Personal Finance classes for enriching discussions.

We are deeply grateful to these alumni for giving their time, sharing their stories, and inspiring the next generation of Donovan leaders.  Thank you all…Go, Griffins!
