Jennifer Collins | February 20, 2021 | 771 views

A Darlington student is made up of many things. None of which is average. We help our students develop their interests, passions and pursuits, because we believe every individual has something to contribute. We also believe that only when you're 100% you, are you 100% Darlington. 

Here at Darlington, every student’s path is different. We think that's a good thing. 

In this #SeniorSpotlight get to know Cooper Cates, a day student from Rome who has been at Darlington since kindergarten and serves as president of the Honor Council.
