Changes in the Dublin High Bell Schedule
With the start of a brand new school year, some things are bound to change. One of which, in this case, is the Dublin High School bell schedule. One of the most significant differences in this year’s schedule is the day of the monthly Grady Days. Grady Days are a term for days where Dublin High School has rallies or assemblies designed to educate students, promote school spirit, and highlight the diverse nature of the school. For the past couple of years, Grady Days were consistently held on Fridays, but starting this school year, the event has been moved to Wednesdays. In addition, the basic bell schedule has gone as follows: second period, the rally, fourth period, lunch, and lastly, sixth period. However, this year, the format of a typical Grady Day goes as follows: second period, the rally, lunch, fourth period, and lastly sixth period. The change in lunch time being after the rally is a new change, and could potentially help students feel less drained throughout the day.
