Douglas High school is a 5a High school located in marshall county, Douglas is a small town with one red light. It is a small community but Douglas is a very welcoming community, everybody is involved in the school. from personal experience playing basketball here, almost every game the gym is packed with lowd and rowdy douglas fans cheering us on.

I liked the activities we would have. I how nice the teachers were. On another hand I would like to see changes in the bad behavior of the students from bringing drugs and alcohol I would want more security on that.
