Each November, the NDA community comes together to remember Rachel Anne Morrison, Class of 2005 valedictorian and 12-season runner. Every year after she graduated, Rachel would come home for Thanksgiving and organize an alumni run with her cross country coach, Harry Mann. After her untimely passing in 2014, her family sought to preserve that tradition through the establishment of Rachel’s Run, a 5K on the NDA cross country trail now known as Rachel’s Trail.
