The Fine Arts Department is excited to share the calendar for the Delight events for the spring season of the Art in 3D progamming of the year.
Darlington’s annual International Fair is coming up on Monday, March 30 from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM in the Johnson Field House at the Huffman Athletic Center, and we would love to invite Darlington students and families to be part of this special day by hosting a country or culture table.
The International Fair celebrates the many backgrounds, cultures, and global connections within our community. Families are invited to share traditions, food, clothing, music, artifacts, or other elements that help bring their culture to life for our students.
If we already have students or families representing your country, we will connect you to join their table. If not, we are happy to support you in hosting one.
Interested in participating? Please complete the sign-up form linked here to learn more or contact Tara Inman, dean of community life, at tinman@darlingtonschool.org. She will follow-up with more details for those interested.
We hope you will consider joining us in sharing and celebrating the many cultures that make up our Darlington community.

Our motto for this year’s book drive is “ Miles of Smiles: Books for Every Child”
Books open doors to imagination, knowledge, and a lifelong love of reading—but not every child has access to them. Through this year’s book drive, we hope to change that by putting books into the hands of children in our Rome community and beyond.
Inspired by Upper School student Sophie Pillar’s Senior Venture Project, some of the books collected will even reach children in the Philippines—spreading the joy of reading near and far.
Living out Darlington’s motto, Service Beyond Self, students have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through this effort.
The book drive will run from March 20 through April 1, with a goal of collecting 2,500 children’s books. Students are encouraged to donate new or gently used books to their homeroom or advisor.
Thank you for helping us support this important effort. Every book donated helps a child begin their reading road trip.
Mrs. Helen Bissell will be sharing "Abe's Story," a story of survival amidst the Holocaust, with our Upper School Students and 8th graders. We welcome members of the community to join us for the message on Thursday, March 26 at 9:15 am in Morris Chapel. Please see the flyer link for more information.
Attached you will find the Senior Events Schedule and Baccalaureate/Graduation Dress Code for the Class of 2026.
Please review both documents and mark your calendars for these important upcoming events. More details will be shared as dates approach.
