Dear Alexis I. du Pont School Community,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! We are excited to welcome our students, staff, and families back home to A.I. High. We hope your summer was filled with rest, joy, and meaningful time with loved ones. Now, it’s time to come together for another incredible year—one where we continue to show why “A.I. High is Home” for learning, growth, and community.

At Alexis I. du Pont High School, home is more than a place—it’s a feeling. It is where our students are known, supported, and inspired to be their best. Our students are kind, compassionate, and eager to learn, and with the dedication of our talented staff, we work each day to ensure that every student feels valued, accepted, and safe. Our mission remains the same: to ensure that all students are career- or college-ready by providing a rigorous, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.

This year, our focus on connection and belonging will be stronger than ever. We know that when students feel at home, they are more engaged, more confident, and more successful. Together—with our families, staff, and community partners—we will continue to create a culture where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

We encourage you to stay connected and informed by visiting our school website and following us on Instagram and Facebook. If you have any questions, ideas, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at (302) 651-2626. Alexis I. du Pont is not just where learning happens—it’s where you belong.

Sincerely,
Tyler Downes
Principal
