Welcome, Freshman Families

Starting high school is a big milestone. This page is your home base for everything you need to know in 9th grade, from navigating the new schedule to making the most of your first year at Dover-Sherborn High School.

A Note for New Families

Dover Sherborn High School runs on an 8-day rotating schedule with six periods per day, each about one hour long. Classes begin at 8:35 AM and end at 3:10 PM. There's a 13-minute snack break mid-morning and two lunch windows. Don't worry, freshmen quickly find their footing, and upperclassmen and peer helpers are there to help!
