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.

If you play sports, who is your favorite coach and why?

If you are involved in fine arts, what is your favorite activity and why?
My favorite activity is choir because it has allowed me to grow not only in musical ability, but also in confidence. It has also allowed me to be a part of such a special group of people who always give it their all and are just as passionate about it as I am.

Describe an experience that you've had at Darlington that you couldn't have had anywhere else.
RUMPUS!! RUMPUS is such a special weekend, and I love getting to connect with people in my house that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. Lip Sync is pretty great, too.
What are some of the ways you've grown since you first came to Darlington?
I feel like I have grown in self-confidence since coming to Darlington. At Dar, I’ve been able to have more confidence in my ability to show up fully as myself, and not be afraid to go outside of my comfort zone, because I know I’ll have the best group of friends cheering me on.
What is your dream job?
I’m not entirely sure, but I'd love to do something with music!
