Mr. Dury's English Classes

Welcome to Mr. Dury's digital web space for his English courses at Lexington High School.



1) I hope you have a great year. Start strong.

2) Your actions teach people how you want to be treated.

3) When you can, be kind, be accountable, work hard, and practice self-advocacy.


You can come here each week (or even when you're sick) to get the syllabus and work for the week. Please do keep in mind that all material on this Web site is meant to supplement classroom information—not serve as a replacement.

About me

I have been teaching English at LHS since 2006. I have my BA in English from UMaine (Orono) and my Master of Arts in Teaching from Northeastern University. Among other things, I enjoy backpacking and camping, reading poetry, playing guitar, catching an odd baseball game, and being with my family.
