Dover's first school house was constructed in 1827 in a forested area on the south side of 4th Street, near the cemetery. There was a separate segregated school on W. Front Street until 1917, at which time Dover's school system became fully integrated.

On May 17, 2018, the city of Dover broke ground for a new $46.2 million school building.[3] The new facility will be built on the site of the current high school on N. Walnut Street. The oldest portions of the school will be demolished, including the 1915 wing and the 1940 section.[3]

Dover High School has a longstanding football rivalry with nearby New Philadelphia High School, having played 112 times since 1896. Dover currently leads the series 54–49–9.[4] Dover fields eighteen varsity teams in the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference.

gollark: There's a lot of redundant information or space where more could be packed in in most languages, but this is actually good in that it acts as error correction.
