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. The school itself is great with many teachers, caring about the student grades but also their personal lives. the school runs really well with an amazing principle and great councler helping us on every step of the way.

The best part of Douglas High School was that there staff are very kind to student including parents. The worst part of Douglas High School was that it's a little too crowded in the hallways. The change that I would like to see is have a bigger library for students to read.
