Principal’s Announcements
Greetings Astros:
It has been a distinct pleasure to serve as your principal
at Frederick Douglass High
School this school year; however, I have decided to accept an opportunity to serve as a principal in another
school district.
ASTRO HIGHLIGHTS
GROW, LEAD, TRANSFORM
Volunteer of the Month
“Christopher Brown”
Mr. Brown is a proud alumnus of Frederick Douglass High School. He is a very dedicated
volunteer of the school. He is seen in the school daily helping out wherever he can. Mr.
Brown is also very active in supporting the Douglass community. He is a volunteer, a mentor,
and an all around good Samaritan. Mr. Brown is always around supporting our Astros!
Get down with Mr. Brown… Thanks!
Congratulations to Douglass High School for winning
the ELS Reading Plus Reading Achievement Award. In
addition, Douglass High School had the highest Average Rate Gain and an impressive number of
Total Level Ups at 139 Level Up celebrations .
Please accept my decision knowing that I
have appreciated your support and enjoyed getting to know you this school year.
Mission Statement
With a caring culture of trust and collaboration, every student will graduate
ready for college, career, and life.
Vision
A high-performing environment where
students love to learn, educators inspire, families engage and the community trusts the school
Track and Field Schedule
Frederick Douglass High School is an
amazing school, and I am dedicated to
continuing to serve as your principal
through the end of the school year. During
this time, Atlanta Public Schools will immediately begin a search for a new principal with input from the community.
Thank you for understanding and your impressive commitment to our Douglass Astros. As always, I will be available to address any concerns or questions you may
have.
Best regards,
DeMarcos D. Holland
