☀️📚 Upcoming Sophomores 📚☀️

Your summer reading era continues.

Before another year begins at Doherty Memorial High School, pick up a story that hits hard, feels real, and stays with you long after the last page.

📖 This summer's read: Solo by Kwame Alexander — a powerful story about music, family, identity, and finding your own voice while everything around you is changing.

Reading doesn't have to feel like homework. Sometimes the right book sounds like lyrics, feels like a playlist, and understands exactly where you are in life.

📚☀️Attention Incoming Freshmen ☀️📚
Your summer reading era starts now!
Before the halls of Doherty Memorial High School fill up this fall, find a story that pulls you in, makes you laugh, breaks your heart a little, and keeps you up reading “just one more chapter.”

📖This summer’s read: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon — a story about first love, taking risks, and discovering the world beyond your comfort zone.
