David Douglas High School Families,

Welcome to the start of the second semester! This is an ideal time for students to reflect on their achievements, set new goals, and build momentum for the remainder of the school year. As students face fresh challenges and form meaningful relationships with teachers and peers, we remain committed to supporting their growth and delivering a high-quality education for every student. Our focus this year continues to center on three key pillars: relationships, engagement, and attendance. We believe that fostering strong connections, active participation, and consistent attendance are essential to student success. Alongside our rigorous academic curriculum, we offer a variety of co-curricular and extracurricular activities to get and keep students engaged—please encourage your students to get involved. 

Additionally, if your student did not pass a core class last semester or in previous terms, we strongly recommend enrolling them in credit recovery to help them stay on track for graduation. Please reach out to your student’s counselor for assistance (503-261-8309).

Here is to a successful semester ahead!
