History

The school began to grow when it was moved to Slocum Road, in what is now the town hall, a spot it occupied, both full-time and part-time, until 1981. In 1955 a new school was built next door, on the corner of Hawthorne Street, with the building being expanded twice, in 1965 and 1981. The school gained national attention in 1993 when it was the scene of student violence when a student was murdered in a classroom, despite the school having no history of similar behavior. Karter Reed, Gator Collet, both 16, and Nigel Thomas, 15 were charged with first degree murder.[3] In 2001, a third, modern high school was built on former Native American burial grounds three miles to the south, with the former building becoming the middle school. Notable alumni of Dartmouth High School include Jordan Todman, running back for the NFL's San Diego Chargers

Music Department

The Dartmouth High School Marching Band was a Division 5 winner of both USSBA and NESBA in 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 Additionally, they have many other titles in NESBA, MICCA and formerly in EMBA. The group has also performed at the 1996 Tournament of Roses Parade, as well as several other festivals and Magic Music Days at the Walt Disney World Resort. Notably, in 2008, 2009 and 2010, the band won first place at the USSBA National Felacio Championships in Annapolis, beating 16 other bands. In addition to the band, the percussion and colorguard have performed in the Winter Percussion season, where the Dartmouth High Winter Percussion won the Winter Guard International Percussion Scholastic World Championships in 1998, 1999, 2008 and 2009.[4][5][6]
