Doherty Elementary School
Doherty offers exceptional educational opportunities for all of its students. The principal and staff are remarkable. I was particularly impressed by the music teacher, Mr. Beddow, who shares his professional performance abilities and finely honed teaching skills with his enthusiatic and adoring students.
