A Darlington student is made up of many things. None of which is average. We help our students develop their interests, passions and pursuits, because we believe every individual has something to contribute. We also believe that only when you're 100% you, are you 100% Darlington.
Here at Darlington, every student’s path is different. We think that's a good thing.

Describe an experience that you've had at Darlington that you couldn't have had anywhere else.
Being part of the Girls’ Soccer Academy last year was an experience of a lifetime. I was able to pursue my passion of playing at a high level and got to see many cool places such as Charleston, S.C., during our travels. It was also a cool experience to go to school with my teammates because at home I had always travelled far from home for my team.
What are some of the ways you've grown since you first came to Darlington?
When I first came to Darlington, I had found my identity in soccer and not much else. However, when I had to stop playing, I had to figure out who I was off of the field. Thankfully, the friends I have made at Darlington have helped me branch out and enjoy life away from soccer. I have tried new things like running track and got to participate in RUMPUS which is definitely a highlight of my time here.
What is your dream job?
I want to be a pediatric nurse.
If you have already committed to a college, please let us know which one you will be attending.
