“Dr. Dinkins has been an avid supporter of our CEL program since the day he stepped foot on campus. I’ve been very grateful for his wisdom, guidance, and creative thinking as we continue to take an innovative approach to education.”
– Ed Glassman
“Delvin and I arrived on the ‘SCH scene’ simultaneously. In my three-year tenure, he’s been a constant presence on this 62-plus acre campus. Whether at plays, concerts, or Middle School dances—athletic events, “Trunk-or-Treats,” winter concerts, or quotidian morning drop-offs—he’s been present at the moments, large and small, that matter for our students, families, faculty, and staff. It’s been a total honor and pleasure working at SCH under his leadership.” — Julie Knutson
“The Campus Lantern could not have grown to what it is today, two years after its inception, without Dr. Dinkins’ steadfast support. But more than that, Dr. Dinkins has been a champion for the humanities here at SCH. I will deeply miss his council on all things related to art, literature, and teaching. He has been a true mentor for me.” —Jenny Gellhorn
“I’ve appreciated so many aspects of Dr. Dinkins’ leadership: his thoughtfulness; his deep understanding of how independent schools work (and sometimes don’t work); his love of art and literature; his appreciation for the wide array of ways in which students show up in our community; and his willingness to seemingly be everywhere all at once. As a coach of runners, I’ve especially appreciated Dr. Dinkins’ commitment to continuing to run himself and to being a presence at cross country and track and field meets. Running can be one of the lonelier sports, and Dr. Dinkins knows how much it means for him to be there at the finish line. I am thankful for the three years we had Dr. Dinkins at SCH.” — Polly Kimberly
“On behalf of the Arts Department, I want to express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Dinkins for his steadfast support of the arts at SCH. He has been an unwavering support for our student artists and musicians at every art show and performance. His presence speaks volumes—not just to the students and faculty involved, but to our entire community. It reaffirms that their voices, creativity, and artistic expression truly matter.” — Megan Monaghan
“Dr. Dinkins was the first person who told me that a newspaper is an enterprise. On behalf of The Lantern, thank you, Dr. Dinkins for your continued advocacy for and support of our program. Without you we would not be where we are today. We wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors.” —Griffy Whitman
