As Darlington embarks on its second century, new media and technology have allowed us to tell our story in a whole new way. This section of the Web site features authentic audio, video and photo stories about our people, their passions and their place in the fabric of Darlington. After all, who better to tell you who we are than the alumni, parents, faculty and students who have lived – and, in many cases, been transformed by – the Darlington experience?
