Student Drop Off and Pick Up
You will noticed we have posted new signage at Alumni Drive and Daley Drive and Daley Drive and the access road behind the school. We want to remind people that this is not an area to drop off or pick up students. Dover High School's Student Services buses drop off students behind the school. We have had many instances of people passing buses and other unsafe conditions created by students walking in that area. The road is only for buses and delivery vehicles. Please arrange to drop off and pick up your students in another area. We appreciate your cooperation as we work to keep all our students safe.
Student of the Week
This week Dover High School recognizes senior Jack Wagoner. Jack is a positive leader who has served as class liaison throughout his high school career. Students and faculty recognize his ability to communicate and connect with everyone in the building. Jack expanded his horizons as a junior, spending the year in France as an exchange student. He is a member of the National Honor Society and has taken a rigorous course of study full of honors and Advanced Placement classes. Jack's other extracurricular activities include being a member of the French Club, the soccer team of which he was a captain his senior year, and the baseball team. Outside of school, he works at Indoor Ascent helping people build their rock-climbing skills and hosts a podcast that looks at the duality of gratitude and ambition. He plans to pursue a dual major in psychology and international relations next year.

Obligations

Our food service provider, Fresh Picks Café, sends out emails to the families of students who have a lunch balance. Students should make sure make sure all books, equipment, and uniforms have been returned and they have paid their lunch balance to avoid an obligation. Obligations impact the purchase of parking passes, dance and prom tickets, and graduation. Students may return items or pay off balances in the Main Office between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm. Please contact Ms. Cunio at [email protected]. if you have any questions or need to update an email address.
Course Selection for 2025-2026
It is time to start planning for next school year! There are many steps involved in the scheduling process. First, the Program of Studies for the 25-26 School Year is now posted online, and we encourage students and parents/guardians to review all our offerings and course descriptions. The attached document, Overview of Elective Selection 25-26, covers the details of the process. During Advisory on January 16th, there will be a presentation for students to enter their electives into Infinite Campus. Students will have until 1/30/25 to enter their electives in. After that, they will need to make an appointment with their School Counselor to review their selections. Course registration is not first come first serve, as they will have through March to review their selection and make changes with their Counselor. Incoming Freshmen (Class of 2029) will go through this process in March.
