Day #SeniorSpotlight: Ashlyn Woods

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 let’s get to know Ashlyn Woods, a day student (since third grade) from Acworth, Ga., who is editor-in-chief of The Inkslinger literary magazine.
