We have planned an exciting weekend Feb. 19-21 to showcase our students and programs to all of our wonderful parents, and we hope you will be able to join us! This is the first year that Parents Weekend will be open to ALL families, pre-K to 12, and I think you will be pleased with the diversity of the events we have selected to give you a taste of the Darlington experience.

 

The weekend will be a busy one beginning on Friday with Career Day at the Upper School, which will feature a keynote address by Will Muschamp (’90), defensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting for the University of Texas. Limited seating is available for parents. The weekend will also include informative sessions on topics like college planning and fine arts, a service project, a tour of the new Middle School, an all-school art exhibit, a nature walk, several athletic events, brunch with me and my wife at the Home-on-the-Hill, an International Festival, and three performances of our much-anticipated winter musical, “Hello, Dolly!” This production features over 70 students from pre-K to 12 and promises to be quite a treat.

 

Our primary goal is to create an experience for you to enjoy activities with your child(ren), with plenty of free time built in. Feel free to bring grandparents, too! We’d love to have them. Please click here to take a look at the complete schedule of events. Reservations for meals are required by Friday, Feb. 12.

 

We hope to see you soon!
