Welcome to DHS: In Pursuit of Educational Excellence
 


 

Dr. Greg Harrison



Welcome to Darlington High School, home of the Falcons, where Academic Excellence is our goal. The vision of Darlington High School is to promote a safe, caring, positive learning environment that supports the belief that teachers have the right to teach and students have the right to learn. The academic program of studies at Darlington High School is designed to meet the needs of each student who enters our doors. Our academic offerings include College Prep courses, Early College Credit, Honors courses and Credit Recovery. Darlington High Schools “College Magnet Program” allows a student to earn multiple college credits while in high school. We are extremely excited about our newly renovated science labs. These labs will enable our students to receive state-of-the-art science instruction. In light of all these opportunities for academic excellence, Darlington High School is the school for the college-bound students to excel! As a High School that Works, our school strives to meld academic and technical studies while ensuring that every course is challenging and engaging. Students benefit from integrated long and short term projects. Darlington High School is on the cutting edge of outstanding educational practices. Students are given numerous opportunities to pursue their interests and nurture special talents while completing their academic course of study. As a Renaissance School, multiple school-wide incentives for students and faculty that are achieving and demonstrating Falcon PRIDE are provided. Our athletic teams are among the best in the region and compete for state titles yearly. The Falcon band and fine arts programs are growing and involving more students each year.  Darlington High School is breaking barriers to allow all students to excel. Come join us at DHS as we pursue educational excellence!

Dr. Greg Harrison, Principal
