History

1915 Dover High School building

Dover's first school house was constructed in 1827 in a forested area on the south side of 4th Street, near the cemetery[ citation needed ]. There was a separate segregated school on W. Front Street until 1917, at which time Dover's school system became fully integrated.[ citation needed ] The DHS Alma Mater was composed by L. H. Alexander. [2]

On May 17, 2018, the city of Dover broke ground for a new $46.2 million school building. [3] The new facility will be built on the site of the current high school on N. Walnut Street. The oldest portions of the school will be demolished, including the 1915 wing and the 1940 section. [3] A time capsule from 1915 contained in the old school cornerstone was recovered in 2019 and preserved for the new building. [4]
