I loved my time being in Dover Area High School. All my friend and my relationships with various teachers. My favorite part of that school would have had to be my time in science.

Dover school district is a joke. Alls they care about is the school band and there football team . They dont care about the students with special needs or the other kids. Alls they see is dollar signs when the see a child with special needs. Im glad my child dont go to dover anymore
