Press Release Summary: Delphian School students meet Oscar winner as part of a
week-long Los Angeles field trip focusing on entrepreneurship.

Press Release Body: Last week, 24 students from the Delphian School in Sheridan
returned from a week-long trip to Los Angeles as part of an annual field trip
sponsored by the school's business seminar. The group was composed primarily of
freshman and sophomores who attend a special class on entrepreneurship.

While in Los Angeles, Delphian School students met with many hi-tech and
entertainment luminaries. The hi-tech side consisted of meetings that included the
founder and CEO of Diskeeper (maker of the number one disk defragmentation software
in the world); Chris DeWolf, Co-Founder of MySpace; and David Hagan, CEO of Boingo,
a company founded by Sky Dayton, Delphian alumnus and founder of Earthlink.

"This trip not only allowed me to become familiar with the business environment,"
said Delphian School sophomore Melissa Trevans, "but it opened my eyes to the amount
of passion and persistence that real success requires."

Students also had face-to-face interviews with Academy Award winning
producer/director and screenwriter, Paul Haggis (Crash, In the Valley of Elah,
Million Dollar Baby); producer/director and screenwriter, Floyd Mutrux (Up in Smoke,
Urban Cowboy, Dick Tracy); and CEO of FOX Broadcasting Company, Peter Liguori.

Each year, students in the Delphian School\'s business seminar balance classroom
activities with guest speakers, local field trips and an optional field trip to the
east or west coast. "These trips expose students to a high level of
professionalism," offered Delphi's business seminar instructor and Assistant
Headmaster, Mark Siegel, "and they provide students with the inspiration to achieve
their dreams."
