Doherty Memorial High School is a public high school located in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. It opened its doors in the fall of 1966, replacing two closing schools: Worcester Classical High School and Worcester Commerce High School.[1]
The school was named for Dr. Leo T. Doherty, an educator, who, over a period of forty years, served Worcester as a teacher, art director, assistant superintendent, and superintendent of schools.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
