When Mitchell Kelly Thurston (’14) first arrived on Darlington’s campus on the evening of Jan. 4, 2012, he had never seen the school in person. By 8:30 p.m., he was settling into a dorm room in Georgia, far from his home in Nassau, Bahamas. By the next morning, he was officially a Tiger.
Darlington will come alive with the stories, experience, and energy of 29 alumni returning to campus for Career Day 2026, an event hosted for Upper School students by the Alumni Council on Jan. 26.
Through our Darlington Connects blog series, we are proud to showcase the stories, connections, and lasting impact of a community that continues to embody Darlington’s mission and values long after graduation. Today, we hear from Alumni Council member Emily Hendrickson (’06, LD ’25).
