About Us

Douglass Elementary School takes pride in the rich history it possesses.  Established in approximately 1895, Frederick Douglass School was an all black school due to the period of segregation that was so prevalent in this nation.  This school housed all grade levels from Kindergarten through the 12th Grade.

Douglass currently houses grades Pre-kinder through 5th grade.  Our Principal, Mr. Manuel Mendoza, has many years of administrative experience and love for the faculty, staff and students.  Wonderful things are happening at Douglass Elementary School.  You are welcome to come by and visit us.
