Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School is a four year high school that serves students in the 9th through 12th grades. Our student population of 1,000 students primarily comes from the towns of Dennis and Yarmouth. An experienced faculty strives to provide the best education possible in order to prepare our students for a technology-driven 21st century world. A recent renovations project dramatically improved the high school’s technology. The high school now has computers in every classroom, five full computer labs, eight sets of laptop computers for classroom use and the majority of classrooms have interactive whiteboards or SmartBoards.
Our school is committed to Pursuing Excellence, Demonstrating Character. The high school stresses a core program of English, foreign language, math, science, and social studies. We offer a wide range of courses and programs to our students. We provide many Advanced Placement and honors level courses for students who seek the most rigorous academic challenges. Every year, a significant number of our students complete approved online classes through the Virtual High School program. We value a well-rounded education for all of our students, and consequently, our graduation requirements call for students to complete course work in elective areas: art, computers and technology, health and physical education, and music. We support career oriented options including work based learning and this year nearly 100 students participated in internships with local businesses. We work closely with Cape Cod Community College and many of our students take classes at the community college level. D-Y students can also pursue alternative paths to graduation through participation in our day and evening alternative learning programs. In light of the need to prepare our students for an increasingly competitive future in the 21st century, we continually update our program.
