Doherty Memorial High School

Posted November 16, 2009

After these years I truly believe Doherty is a good public school regardless of many negative feedback, points of view I've received in the past. It is a good public school with solid programs that are equipped to help those students who want to learn. I've met with the teachers and they seemed to be very dedicated & involved in the success of their students. As a parent with kids who had been in private school in the past, now, when I think back it hardly made a huge difference in term of their academic life. I believe it is within the child willingness to learn and also the level of effort, care and support that they receive from the teachers-regardless of private or public!! I think I'm pretty happy that my child is on the right track for college.

Doherty is a good school, one of the best in Worcester. However due to the recent economy meltdown sources are low and the school isn't able to reach it's full potential anymore. More and more electives have been cut. Also, the school doesn't have as many dedicated teachers as there used to be. But I most definitely have to give a big shout out to Mr. Bucciaglia, Ms. Soares, Mrs. Razzaq, Mr. Boyd, Capstick, and Dr. Reese! They're fun and good and their job. - Class of 2009! I'm outta here baby

I was a student at Doherty High School and i still recognize the Good ESL teacher Ms.Griffin who warm heartedly cheered me up when i just immigrated to the United States . In Dorherty Memorial High School, she was the only person who truly saw me for who i am,till now i still consider her my role model.The kind of person i hope to learn from and impact it in others life the way she impacted on mine.

I have four children in the Worcester public schools and my oldest is at Doherty High. She loves the teachers (well, most of them) and I do as well. They really do a great job.The principal really does go above and beyond the call of duty. Whenever I have needed any extra things done for my daughter they are right on top of it and very respectful and professional . They do truly care about the students. You couldn't ask for better sports , music , etc., programs . BUT..... I am very disappointed that the Worcester School Dept. has not put any money into repairing the building. The bathrooms ARE a nightmare and the building is crumbling. (My kid will not use the bathroom) , I honestly would not send my daughter there if the staff was not so outstanding. Worcester needs to get it together and rebuild!
