    We believe that all students can succeed with the proper support at the high school level.  Throughout all high school years, all 9th-12 grade students receive options for credit recovery, English language acquisition support, Special Education services, and after school and Saturday School tutoring.

    Doherty High School offers freshman an extra layer of academic enhancement that encompasses both skill development, assignment completion, and work-habit mentoring. We emphasize a team-approach, including the student, family, classroom teachers, trained peer tutors, Math and Writing Center Director and Study Skills Coaches. Our emphasis lies in teaching students to become their first and best self-advocate for their own success.

English Language Learners

  • ELL services are provided to those students who qualify.  ELL certified staff work with all levels of ELL students to help them reach their academic English Language standards. These ELL English classes replace regular English classes.  The ELL teacher also coordinates a class that helps students strengthen their work habits in their other academic classes. The ELL teacher works with the students and teachers to make the work accessible to ELL students while they are learning to speak, listen, read, and write in English.
