Douglas High School is great place to teach. The administration is supportive of learning and expectations are high. The students are focused and feel safe on the campus as I do. I love these students they are so polite and are enthusiastic about their education. I feel the administration has worked very hard to make it a great place to learn and work.

DHS is a performing plus school and has made AYP again. The Advanced Placement program is outstanding. My child is flourishing here and the new media technology class has given my child a chance to nurture her artistic side. What a great school! Safety is key to the administration and as soon as you walk on campus you can sense the academics that are taking place. Orderly and polite kids no matter where you go. A great place for students.

I am a newly graduate of Douglas High School, and i can honestly say that my high school career at DHS was awesome. By awesome i mean we as students got it all. Academic wise the school is at its best ! the relationship the teachers and staff members have with the students is extraordanary ! all of the faculty at DHS cares for the students! they always went the extra mile to make our 4yr stay the most comfortable and well spent. the amount of knowledge i accumlated is enormous. DHS always STRIVES to put the students well being before anything! i love that school, and i would llike to thank DHS for the most amazing 4 yrs. of my life !

Right now the school isn't at it's best. Im not speaking academic wise. The way they are running this school the children might as well be in a prison. The administrators need to lighten up a little.

Douglas High School is a high school in a small, tight knit border town. It has a very strong athletics program. Students at this school are highly involved and there are many opportunities not only in the school, but in the community to volunteer. There are some outstanding faculty members, and a lot of mediocre ones, something that is expected at any school. There are honors classes and opportunites for students to co-enroll in the local community college in town. There are architecture, art, agricultural, culinary, and dance electives for the students to take. Parent's are involved in this school at a medium level, its usually the same parents that are involved over and over again. Overall, the school excells more in its extracurriculars than in it's academics.

I have know for a fact that a handful of teachers at this school do not earn their share. I can name a few teachers that do not teach their classes. All they do is give them an easy A and pass them on to someone else. Plus, an awful lot of students do not listen to the very few good teachers becuase they are used to goofing off and earning a passing grade. If you look at the high schools test scores compared to other schools in suronding towns you can see how much or more like how little the students know.
