Welcome back to a new school year! I want to extend my heartfelt greetings to each one of you. It is with great excitement and pride that I make this post, ready to witness the remarkable journey of growth and discovery that lies ahead for the Douglass High School family.

Over the past year, we faced unprecedented challenges, but through it all, your resilience and determination has been nothing short of inspiring. You’ve shown immense strength in navigating uncertain times, and your adaptability has been commendable.

As we step into this new school year, let’s remember that Douglass High School is a family. Together, we can create a safe, thriving, and supportive environment that all students and staff deserve.

Douglass High School has always been a place of academic and athletic excellence, but it’s more than just a place of learning; it’s a place where lifelong friendships are forged, dreams take flight, and memories are etched in our hearts forever.

Our exceptional faculty is committed to nurturing your intellect, guiding you through challenges, and fostering a love for learning that will transcend the walls of our classrooms and change the trajectory of some of some of our students lives.

We are committed to taking care of our students’ mental and emotional well-being. The journey ahead might be demanding, but with the right support, we can conquer any obstacle that comes our way.

Students, lean on your friends, teachers, and counselors. Reach out whenever you need a listening ear or a helping hand.

Welcome back Douglass High School students! As we embark upon this new chapter, I have no doubt that we will achieve great things together. Let’s strive for excellence, aim for personal growth, and create a legacy that will inspire generations to come.

Day 1 of inservice was phenomenal! Principal Marketta Steward and DHS leadership team welcomed new and returning staff. Today’s discussions were about high expectations for all stakeholders. We are not lowering expectations. Instead, we are raising the bar and providing the necessary support and resources to help the staff and students meet and exceed those expectations.

Guess what school planned the BIGGEST block party for their students!?

Yeah, we did! Frederick Douglass High School - Red Devils is the best. We incentivized students that registered for the upcoming school year.

Students of Douglass High School A/V Production class had the opportunity to visit WREG News Channel 3 to take a closer look of the behind scenes operations of television news. Students were able to ask 37 year-veteran Meteorologist Todd Demers a ton of questions about what his job as a Meteorologist consist of. Not only did they ask questions about the weather, but how news is gathered each day.

Faculty meeting was a success! Testing is the topic. 🔥
