9th Grade Bridge Program
Current eighth-grade charter-school students, home-school students and open-enrollment applicants from other districts are invited to register now at Dobson High for the 2009-10 school year.
Information: Dobson registration department, (480) 472-3052.
Dobson is enrolling students in the first freshman class of the school's new Ninth-Grade Bridge. Unique in Mesa, the Ninth-Grade Bridge is an option to complete all four years of high school on the Dobson campus. Bridge students will have access to all the benefits of a comprehensive high school, including:
- a college preparatory curriculum
- weighted, honors and Advanced Placement classes
- performing arts
- visual arts
- career and technical education
- athletics
- extracurricular clubs and activities
Although Ninth-Grade Bridge students will be an integral part of the Dobson student body, they will make their transition to high school in a personalized environment. Class sizes will be small. Students will have a designated counselor and administrator. They will take freshmen-only classes in the core subjects of English, world history and biology. In their elective classes, students will have the opportunity to learn and interact with many other Dobson students.
"We are eager to meet you," said Matt Gehrman, principal. "At Dobson, we do great things with our students in three years. Imagine what we can do in four!"
