News & Announcements

Hello Dottke students and families!  Welcome to the 2025-26 school year at James E. Dottke Project-Based Learning High School!  What an exciting time to be a Phoenix!  
At Dottke, we learn by doing.  We learn by taking risks.  We learn by failing.  We learn alongside one another.  We learn in ways that will benefit us in our adult lives.  And most of all, we learn that achieving our individual full potential is hard work, but attainable.

I'm looking forward to an amazing and memorable 2025-26 school year!

As we enjoy the summer season, Dr. Robinson shares key district updates including progress on referendum-funded projects, the upcoming launch of our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, important organizational changes, and new district leadership.
