The Middle School honored several outstanding students Monday, May 16, at the Final Assembly in Morris Chapel.
Patrick Pierson and Megan Ware received the James Ross McCain Award, the most prestigious award given at the Middle School. Recipients have demonstrated outstanding leadership ability in all areas of school life, but most importantly in the areas of academic, social, physical and spiritual leadership. These students best exemplify the characteristics of honor, independence and integrity, which are fundamentally essential qualities of leadership.
Taylor Richardson and Lauren Dulaney received the M. Hugh Merson Memorial Award, given to the student whose pursuit of excellence in all areas of school life best serves as an example to his fellow students, and who best represents the virtues of character, which Mr. Hugh Merson sought to instill in his students.
Amee Eubank received the Huffman Family Scholarship, established by William M. Huffman Jr. (’67) in honor of William M. Huffman Sr. (’40) and awarded to a rising ninth grade student who exemplifies academic excellence, character and devotion to the School.
Anderson Boone and Nastassia Bryant received the Robert Walther Jr. Memorial Award, given to eighth graders who have exhibited the strongest degree of concern and respect for his fellow students, and have rendered unselfish service to the School.
Rae Law received the Mary Alice Babcock Memorial Award, given to an eighth-grade student who has demonstrated a compassionate and caring attitude to fellow students, who is helpful, friendly, and thoughtful, and who generally places the welfare of others above his/her own.
Mary Al-Sayed received the George Dorsey Memorial Award, given in loving remembrance of George Andrew Dorsey, long-time teacher, whose example of gentleness and concern deeply influenced decades of Darlington students and faculty. This award recognizes a student who is distinguished by his or her own quest for the knowledge and love of living things.
