Mission Statement :
It is the mission of Douglas High School to provide a safe, stable environment, and to guide each student in developing to his or her maximum potential academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Believes :
Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission.

 Students' learning needs should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, and lifelong learners.

 A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning. It is each student's responsibility to attend school regularly and to actively participate in the learning process. High expectations should be held for student learning. Each student will be challenged to set ambitious goals and to strive for these goals without fear of failure.
