The Darlington School Chapter of the National Honor Society inducted 23 new members in a ceremony held Thursday, April 20, 2023 in Morris Chapel.
Each year, sophomores, juniors and seniors who have been at Darlington for the equivalent of one semester or more are eligible for induction. Students are eligible if their overall high school average is at least 87.5. Candidates also must have attained at least one major leadership role either through election or appointment, and must have been involved in two or more service activities per year.
