We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love Marjory stoneman douglas. All of the teachers care so much and make sure their students go down the right path in life. My dream is to attend Florida State University and my teachers have been helping me in every way to make me achieve this.

Going from being a student at MSD to an education major gave me a lot of insight into how the school properly served me as a student and how it didn't.
