JANUARY
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A new year means a fresh start for a lot of people. The month of January also signals the end of the first semester and mid year exams. Students prepared to take their exams and then enjoyed half days following their tests. The new semester began and students began different classes with fresh outlooks!
Staff Showcase
Mr. Beck: Social Studies Teacher
This is my second year working at the Dover Alternative Program. I am currently the Social Studies teacher and the Dover High School boy’s tennis coach. I have been working in the alternative education field since 1999. I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a BA in History and a minor in Geography. Before moving to Dover I worked for the St. Paul American School in Beijing, China as a Social Studies teacher, tennis and badminton coach. I have a seven year old boy. My hobbies include coaching my son’s soccer team, playing golf, tennis, and traveling.
We had three Seniors finish their high school careers at the end of the first semester. These scholars worked hard to graduate with a 20 credit diploma and will walk with the Class of 2015 in June. We are extremely proud of these young adults and wish them all the best!
The Seniors asked for a trip to the New England Aquarium as their Senior gift. In order to earn the trip the students were required to complete a senior project. They were asked to create a presentation for the Dover School Board. The students created a Prezi, highlighting the Dover Alternative Program, guided a tour, and answered questions about their experiences. They were awarded their trip and had a great time. Some of the students had never been to an aquarium before!
