Discovery Early College High School
for Teaching and Industry
Discovery High School (DHS) is a one-of-a-kind high school providing unprecedented access to early college, applied careers credentialing, formative exposure to the teaching profession, and deep industry-embedded learning.
DHS Students
Students and their families build a personalized progression of learning. For some students, that progression will lead to an interest in teaching or other students, that progression will drive a career interest in an applied sciences field (including engineering, computer science, IT, arts, and math-related industries). For all students, there will be the opportunity for internships, externships, entrepreneurship, industry mentors, stackable career certificates, and extensive accrual of college credits with the potential to earn an Associate's Degree along with a high school diploma.
DHS Educators
Educators guide students through their highly personalized progressions with intensive supports, 1:1 advising, competency-based digital badges, and exclusive curation of special learning opportunities, such as in-depth teaching experiences, residential experiences on a college campus and regional employer mentors.
DHS Partners
Community Partners eliminate the racial, financial, linguistic, and gender barriers to ensure equitable, unparalleled access to college and career pathways for students and their educators. We invent the future for Springfield schools and Springfield industry today!
