Welcome to Frederick Douglass High School
 
We are "the essence of a student -centered school". 
 
Our mission is to collaboratively prepare students for their post-secondary options. We do so by engaging and empowering students, parents, teachers and the greater school community. 

STUDENT TRANSCRIPT REVIEW...
We will provide opportunities for you to review and understand your child’s transcript in 
our subsequent Parent CHATS. This opportunity will give you a clear assessment of 
your child’s status for graduation and academic progress.
 
SCHOOL UNIFORM ADOPTION...
We are going full uniform for the 2013-14 school year. We are inviting parents and 
students to provide their input on the selection of uniform choices. Parents may visit our 
front atrium and view the currently proposed designs for student uniforms. Order 
information and pricing will be prepared at the conclusion of the official adoption of 
uniforms. WE WILL BE IN UNFORM BEGINNING AUGUST 2013...
 
PARENT ACADEMY HAS ARRIVED...(Reminder)
Parent participation in our Parent Academy has been very low. We are encouraging our 
parents to participate in these opportunities to develop and expand your personal 
portfolios. Your engagement makes our efforts worth while.
 
EXTENDED LEARNING...(Reminder)
As you review your child’s progress reports and confer with his/her teachers, please be 
reminded of the hosts of opportunities that we have available for providing enrichment 
and extra-help for our students. The services are without success if your and your child 
does not participate in the opportunity. Help us help your child(ren) experience success!
