“This is truly a testament to the type of students we have at Darlington,” said Academic Dean David Powell. "We are so proud of all of our fourth- and fifth-graders who qualified for this great honor."
Fourth-graders receiving Duke TIP recognition include Madeline Bradshaw, Lawson Brown, Cooper Cates, Cora Linos, Luke McDurmon, Luke Lewis, Caroline McRay, Graysen Morgan, Trinity Pyle, Garrett Price, Tate Roberts and Ivy Watters.

These students join the 24
