I Used to Fear Dublin High (I was wrong)
Let me tell you a bit about my past. When my older daughter was in middle school, I started to seriously look into high school options. Even when my daughter was going from kindergarten (a local Montessori school) to 1st grade, we investigated all the local options – public and private. We finally settled on Dougherty Elementary after talking to neighbors but most importantly, after we went to the school to meet the principal. While we are generally in favor of public schools, at the end of the day we are going to do what is best for our children.
An open letter to the editor
In December, a small group, calling themselves “Dublin Learning Community,” will be asking the Dublin Unified School District to approve a new public charter high school in East Dublin. Tassajara Prep, they claim, is going to be a small school focused on high academic achievement, and offering Dublin residents a “choice” for their high school-bound students. The choice should be clear – Dublin High School is the best choice for any student in Dublin.
I encourage all parents who are interested in Tassajara Prep to discover the gem that is Dublin High School. As the mother of an honors student at DHS, and one who is passionate about education, I am more than pleased with Dublin High’s academic curriculum, and the many opportunities that my son has at the high school. With a nurturing staff, DHS is a school where academic achievement thrives, where students are being challenged to reach their full potential, and where students experience the diversity that is Dublin.
