School Reviews

I graduated from Doug in 2007. This school taught me who I was as a young African American woman, and exposed me to things that I may not have been able to gain exposure to anywhere else. I loved the fact that there are small learning communities that cater to the various interests of students. Excellence in academics, as well as athletics, music, and the arts are emphasized here.
