May 18th, 2012 | Add a Comment

By Lainey Severson The third annual Pink the Wave day is coming back to Dover High School on Friday, May 25.  Pink the Wave helps raise money for breast caner research and brings awareness to the disease through selling various pink items.  Kate Freear, the DHS jewelry teacher and co-organizer of the event with Bethann Cancellieri, got the idea from a Holy Cross hockey game and decided to bring it to Dover. “Wear pink on the 25!”says Freear.  If you don’t have any pink, purchase a Pink the Wave shirt through the marketing program or other pink items, such as ribbons, bracelets, earrings and more. … Read entire article »

Make way for AB Scheduling

By Courtney Couillard DOVER- Dover High School is no stranger to changes in scheduling, and while the community has adjusted to block scheduling, the administration is currently working on introducing a modified schedule called AB scheduling for the 2012-2013 school year. AB Scheduling will still keep the fundamental parts of block scheduling: 90-minute class periods and four classes a day.

I discovered Of Monsters and … Read entire article »
