History
Until the 1960s Dover and Sherborn sent their high school students to neighboring town's high schools (Needham for Dover, Framingham for Sherborn). By the 1950s, the population boom was making it difficult for those schools to accept outside students, and the two towns created a regional school district. The first building was built on Farm Street in 1962. As the population continued to increase, the current high school was built on the same campus and completed in 1968. In 2004, a $43 million renovation on the campus was completed, which included a renovation of the High School building, the razing of the Middle School (the original high school building) and the new construction of the Middle School. The other schools in the district are Dover Sherborn Middle School (DSMS), Pine Hill School and Chickering School.
