Darby Samargo

Mrs. Samargo is proud to call South Carolina home after growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina and attending North Carolina State University's School of Design — and now living with her husband, two boys and coonhound for over 6 years in Prosperity. They stay busy playing on the water and hiking in the woods, exploring National Parks and hearing live music. Her family is big on soccer and travel, country roads and ice cream — and they are often found lined up in bright singlets for local 5 and 10k runs. 

Mrs. Samargo has a background in Architectural Design as well as Art & Design, and she has a small business in downtown Newberry both consulting on exterior color and selling arts and crafts supplies. Mrs. Samargo is committed to bringing as much art and color to the community as possible and has been involved in park-beautification projects, gallery exhibitions at The Opera House and art camps hosted at her studio and also at the Academy. It is that drive and spirit that brings her here to the classroom, with the hopes of inspiring our kids to be curious creatives who have the resources and support they need to succeed. Her Integration Studio builds off of the middle school core classes and allows for a space to question, express, collaborate and think critically.
