Construction will begin in May on the Derek Stingley, Jr. Field, a new turf practice field located on Dunham School's main campus. The generous gift from the 2019 graduate includes a state-of-the-art synthetic surface, enhanced drainage systems, and dedicated space for football, PE classes, and athletic training. sos-zagle.org.pl

Stingley, who was named the 2018 Gatorade Louisiana Player of the Year during his time at Dunham, expressed his gratitude to the school that provided him with opportunities to grow academically and develop as an athlete. The field is expected to be ready by the start of the 2026 school year, providing student-athletes with a premier environment for year-round development.
