Construction begins on new Dover High School
Construction is underway on a new Dover High School, which will have a capacity of up to 1,800 students.
Ground was broken for the project Tuesday along Route 8. Voters in the Capital School District approved a referendum last year to fund the project. The new Dover High School will measure about 290-thousand square feet. Construction may be completed by 2014. The existing Dover High School is more than 45 years old.
