The COVID-19 school closure put a halt to spring sports and many end of year traditions. Darrington School District wants our students to know that we are still thinking of them and that they are not forgotten. We will turn on our stadium lights this Friday at 8:20 PM to honor the Class of 2020, our spring athletes, and all of our Darrington students. Per state regulations, the field and school grounds are closed to the public. Please do not park, loiter, or put yourself or others at risk during this event.
