Green and White Day celebrates Dover High School’s Class of 2020

posted on: 5/30/2020

Dover High School is reaching out to the community to help celebrate the Class of 2020 which has persevered through the COVID-19 pandemic with grace and strength. To help acknowledge this is a different graduation season, the school is asking the community to participate in a citywide Green and White Day on Friday, June 5.

During a two-hour window between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., Dover High School seniors and their families are encouraged to drive through the community, particularly Central Avenue from Weeks Crossing to Durham Road, and then onto Alumni Drive. The high school is also asking local businesses to acknowledge the Class of 2020 on existing signs and deck the area out in front of their businesses in green and white.

The school is also encouraging community members to do the same outside their homes. Any green and white decorations will help seniors know how much they are supported by the community. Anyone who can be outside on Central Avenue and Durham Road in green and white and with a sign to salute our seniors would be greatly appreciated.

When students arrive on Alumni Drive, they will be greeted by the Dover Police and Fire departments as well as faculty and staff as they take a victory lap past the school. The campus will be decked out in green and white to celebrate the Class of 2020’s graduation which will take place on Wednesday, June 10 at 7 p.m.

The community-wide Green and White Day is based on the model of Spirit Week held annually every fall and which culminates on a Friday with the most anticipated school day of the year, Green and White Day.

Dover High School thanks everyone for their participation and support for the Class of 2020.

“Green Wave Pride is Forever!”
