Meet Our Valedictorian and Salutatorian

Darrow is proud to announce that Do Young Lim has been named the valedictorian and Cameron Burkhart has been named the salutatorian of the Class of 2010. These students, who have earned the School’s top two academic honors, were recognized at Baccalaureate on Friday, June 4, and Commencement on Saturday, June 5.

The son of Sung-Hwan Lim and Il-Jae Lim, Do Young, a native of Seoul, Korea, has consistently earned High Honors during his time at Darrow. He is one of the most visible leaders within the community, serving as this year’s student body president, as well as a resident assistant, library prefect, and Core Leader, Darrow’s highest leadership ranking. Do Young is an accomplished classical guitarist and saxophonist, and frequently performs during school concerts and theater productions. He has also been a key member of the cross-country team for several seasons. An avid writer, Do Young plans to attend the University of Chicago in the fall, where he will study the humanities.

Cameron is the son of Ken Burkhart and Priscilla Barclay of Albany, N.Y. He is the second Darrow success story in his family; his brother, Mackenzie, graduated in 2007. In addition to his academic achievements, Cameron has flourished as a musician during his Darrow career. He plays bass guitar in various school music ensembles, performs in and creates the lighting design for many Darrow theater productions, and organizes the School’s student-run Coffeehouse live-performance series. Cameron has taken on a range of leadership roles at Darrow, including senior class president, Core Leader, and resident assistant, and prefect for the admission office, student activities, and the performing arts. In the fall, he will enroll in the State University of New York—New Paltz, where he plans to major in English.
