Principal’s Message

Dear David Douglas Families,

At David Douglas High School, our educators continue to design engaging and challenging learning experiences for ALL students. In today’s world of drastic changes, our staff understands the crucial role of maintaining positive relationships with our students, families, and community members. Our goal is to create a safe, secure and respectable learning environment, so students can learn at the highest level, while also providing the necessary educational resources for students’ post-secondary destinations. This task requires resilience as we continue to rebound from the setback of the pandemic. Recognizing the positive correlations between relationships and a high-quality learning environment has prompted us to implement changes to benefit all students. 

Students will hear more about relationships throughout the coming school year. Our staff will intentionally build rapport with our students and stay firm with our mission, “A place where connections are made.” As educators, our professional responsibilities include preparing students to be self-sufficient and to fulfill their ultimate dreams. As always, we are committed to joining with parents to collectively collaborate and develop your student’s most efficient learning process.

David Douglas High School will continue identifying and removing barriers and promoting equitable education access for students and their families. Our goal is to meet the individual needs of each student, both academically and socially. Our success will rely on genuine buy-in from our families, and I encourage you to contribute to your student’s educational journey. I look forward to our partnership as we work together to achieve an optimal learning environment at David Douglas High School. 

Sincerely,
Greg Carradine
DDHS Principal
