Darlington vs. Woodland Basketball Tickets
In 2020, over 200 parents, grandparents, alumni, and faculty redirected their Georgia tax dollars to the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program. With your support, Darlington received over $550,000 in GOAL contributions. Through Georgia GOAL, you are able to contribute funds that will be used to provide financial aid for deserving students to attend our school, and you will receive a 100% Georgia income tax credit in exchange for your contribution! In other words, the State of Georgia is allowing you to ‘spend’ some of the taxes you must pay anyway in order to provide funds for deserving students to attend our school.
It's easy and costs nothing: It takes 20 seconds! Sign up at www.goalscholarship.org. Georgia GOAL applications are due by Dec. 31 each year.
Please contact Carolyn Brearley at cbrearley@darlingtonschool.org with any questions or to request more information.
Thank you for your support of Darlington School!

The Upper School Wind Ensemble is excited to present their annual Traditions of Christmas performance on Monday, 12/7/2020. Their selections feature humor, holiday spirit, impressive arrangements, and fun! The performance will be filmed during the day and then uploaded to our website and social media. We invite the Darlington community to watch the concert with friends and family. The Wind Ensemble presents this gift of music in hopes that everyone will have a very Merry Christmas!
If your child signed up for a word in the Christmas video, please email your clip to jcollins@darlingtonschool.org by Friday, Dec. 4. Remember to please film horizontally and follow the instructions sent to you previously via email.
Are you interested in being an entrepreneur? Would you like to work with some of the top young entrepreneurs in the country and learn what it takes to build a successful business? This competition is for you!
Darlington has the opportunity to compete with several Atlanta Independent Schools in the Teen Entrepreneurship Makeathon Atlanta on January 24, 2021. The event will last from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. We will take breaks for snacks and lunch.
How it works:
"Makeathon encourages ambitious teens with an entrepreneurial spirit to test a new market opportunity centered around a specific business problem, which is presented to the students on the morning of the event.
Student teams work independently throughout the day on their projects, culminating in a pitch presented to our panel of judges. Students will also have a chance to attend Skill Labs to learn entrepreneurial skills such as Marketing, Product Design, Financials and Pitching. Young Founders Institute mentors are available throughout the challenge to support them through the process."
If you are interested, please register here. You may choose your team (3-5 students) or sign up on your own and you will be placed on a team. It is going to be a fun event, and the winners will win real money! I will send out more details and information once we have the teams set.
To spread some holiday cheer, the McCallie-Kennedy Library will be hosting a Make-Your-Own Holiday Face Mask activity during office hours on Thursday and Friday this week. Be sure to stop by and create a festive holiday mask that you can wear throughout the season.
Welcome back! Just a friendly reminder to send a water bottle with your student daily. There are water filling stations throughout the campus for refills. Also, it is a good idea for students to have access to an extra mask in their backpacks. We do have extras at the front desk, if need be.
Dear Tigers,
Welcome Back! I hope you had a great break and you are excited about the winter season beginning. There are a couple of things I would like to communicate moving forward.
PLAYOFF FOOTBALL GAME:
We are very proud of our Darlington Tigers for advancing to the second round of the GHSA Playoffs. Our Tigers will be on the road this Friday night, Dec. 4, at 7:30 p.m. as we take on Prince Avenue Christian School. Prince Avenue has allotted 650 tickets for our parents and fans. Tickets will be $10 each and will be available pre-sale only; tickets will NOT be sold at the gate. Tickets can be purchased through the following Go Fan link:
Prince Avenue Christian School vs. Darlington School Event Link: https://gofan.co/app/events/171449?schoolId=GA4948
BASKETBALL SEASON:
Basketball season officially starts this Saturday, Dec. 5 as our varsity boys' team will be hosting Woodland High School at 4:30 p.m.
As we continue to monitor COVID-19 and its effects, I feel that we will need to restrict the number of supporters allowed in the Huffman Building for these contests.
The day before each game, we will share a link through EVENTBRITE (much like we did for football). There, you will be able to reserve a spot for the contest. Darlington Community and students will share the same link. Each individual can reserve a maximum of 2 tickets. After you reserve a ticket through EVENTBRITE, you will receive a receipt/confirmation with your name on it. Those tickets will be shown at the door through your phone or a printed copy. Admission will not be allowed without a ticket.
Every student participating that day will receive 2 tickets; administered how they please.
Winter Sports GAME DAY PROTOCOLS:
I hope everyone understands Darlington’s procedures during this time as we take all needed precautions to ensure safety for our students and community. Please reach out to me with any questions.
Go TIGERS!
Eddie Guth
