Tiger Jam
Please plan to join us for the 2015 edition of Tiger Jam.  The concert is this Saturday night  at 6:30 in the HS Auditorium.  Admission is $10 and all proceeds go to benefit the Music Department Scholarships.  It is always a great night, showcasing our talented students and of course our world renowned house band "The Horton's". Don't miss it. It is going to be awesome.

Winter Blues!   
The Winter of 2015 keeps on giving. Not only are the temperatures below normal but there is still a foot of snow on our fields and our track forcing our Spring teams indoor for the past two weeks.  It looks like we will be indoors for the better part of next week. The following schedule will most likely have cancellations on it.

Dear DHS Parents and Guardians,
Our names are Allie Leach and Caroline Forest, we are students at Douglas High School. For our senior project, we are designing this year’s yearbook. Our role as business managers for the yearbook is to help defray the cost of our yearbook so they will be affordable for everyone in the class.

It is our responsibility to include any pictures that you as parents would like to incorporate in the yearbook for your children. The cost of these advertisements varies depending on the size of the message/picture you wish to leave for that senior.

If you are interested in submitting a parent ad, please visit www.yearbooksforever.com then search Douglas High School, Douglas MA. From here you have three options for your ad: our staff can design it based on photos and text you submit, you can create an ad in another processor and then upload, or you can design your ad yourself online.  You can also purchase yearbooks on this website.  Please submit your ad by April 17th, 2015.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact our yearbook advisor, Dylan Nauss at dnauss@douglasps.net

Thank you!
