The Dover Public School system can be traced back to 1796, when school was held in a stone Academy” located on the present site of the Swift Packing Company. Education was continued in this building, which was remodeled and enlarged several times, until 1871 when the Northside School, an edifice of six rooms that could accommodate four hundred pupils, was built. This is not the Northside we know today. There were six teachers and one principal, a Mr. Thurber. The Northside became so crowded by 1890 that two classes were held on the first floor of the Odd bellows Hall and two in a private house. To relieve this situation, the Southside, an eight room school, was built in 1892. At this date sixteen teachers were employed by Dover. Rented annexes were again resorted to after two years’ time. The number of students grew, until, before the opening of the East Side School in 1901, there were eight teachers, with their classes, housed in annexes. In 1918 the new high school was erected. Another structure was added to the South Side School in 1927. The high school was renovated and augmented in 1938. The high school program has not always been a four-year one. In 1891, when the principal, Mr. Hulsart, realized that several subjects were too complex for elementary grades, an optional two-year high school course was introduced, followed in 1893 by a three year one. In 1898 the available courses were rearranged, and each was extended one year. The first group having completed the four year program was graduated in 1901. Today, this is the only course proffered.
