Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to Douglas Middle School!
As your Principal, I'm proud to be part of a school where every student is valued and supported.
Our mission is to challenge students with positive, inclusive opportunities to learn and grow toward personal success.
Our dedicated staff works to support each student's academic, social, and emotional growth because we believe every child has unique strengths worth developing. We also know that family involvement makes a big difference, so we encourage you to stay connected through conferences, school events, and everyday communication. Outside of class, students can explore clubs, programs, and activities that spark curiosity and build friendships.
We're glad you're part of the Douglas community. We're here to help, and please don't hesitate to reach out!
It's a Great Day to be a Patriot!
