Dover High School's Print Shop is a program that offers students an opportunity to learn skills necessary for successful employment while providing services and merchandise to the school and community. In addition to providing a copy service for teachers and staff at Dover High, students learn the various skills involved in screen-printing clothing, binding documents, using a digital camera to produce photos of students and staff, and making a variety of products including pads of paper, customized coffee mugs, buttons, posters and cut letters, business cards and other stationary, and hand crafted jewelry and other crafts. Students stock the shelves with traditional school store items as well as products made in the Print Shop. They gain valuable experience in how to greet customers, take orders, follow directions, communicate effectively, and complete tasks in a timely fashion.
Emphasis is placed on quality of work and work ethics.
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times and display appropriate respect for their supervisor, co-workers, and customers. This program hopes to give students skills that will enable them to become successfully employed upon entering the world of work.
