However, the classes and programs they pursue are very different. Douglass is not just a high school. The whole program involves grades six through 12, with a majority of students enrolled in the high school program. At Douglass, students are embraced by teachers, administrators and other building employees in a learning environment that is more personalized than other traditional schools. Douglass is a place where administrators know students by name.
Teachers know something about where students come from.
Teachers care about the little things and do everything they can to help students achieve their academic goals. It's a totally different environment. I can't explain it in words, I love it so much there. Before starting at Douglass, Angiela said she did not think she would make it through junior high school. Now she's expecting scholarship money to continue her education at a four-year college.
