renovation of the main building. These buildings will honor former principals Dr. Lester W. Butts and Dr. Samuel L. Hill. There are several sub-programs within Douglass High School: the magnet program (CFEAT) Center for Engineering, and Applied Technology which serves over 500 students, the
NJROTC which is the only Naval NJROTC in metropolitan
Atlanta area, the Media Arts academy and the Ninth Grade School.
