On August 5, 2021, Del Norte High School alumni volunteers from the AlumKnights welcomed DNHS teachers back with a Teacher Appreciation Lunch. Chick-fil-A at Montgomery and San Mateo donated chicken sandwiches which were handed out to DNHS staff along with chips, cookies and a “free drink” card donated from Ziggie’s Coffee, the new coffee shop across from Del Norte. Albuquerque District 7 City Councilor Diane Gibson also attended to show her appreciation to Del Norte staff.
