Dear Frederick Douglass High School Staff, Students, Families, and Community,
It is with great pride and excitement that I introduce myself as the new principal of Frederick Douglass High School. I am honored to join a school with such a rich history, strong traditions, and a deeply committed community of educators, families, and students.
Over the past 25 years, I have served in various roles across Prince George’s County Public Schools, including math teacher, assistant principal, principal and central office leadership. Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to building student-centered learning environments, supporting teachers and staff, and cultivating strong school-community partnerships.
Frederick Douglass High School is a place where excellence is expected and achieved and I am committed to continuing that legacy. My goal is to foster a safe, inclusive, and academically rigorous environment where every student can thrive, every educator feels supported, and every family feels connected to the school.
I look forward to meeting students, staff, families, alumni, and community members in the days and weeks ahead. I believe in the power of relationships, and I know that by working together, we will accomplish great things. Please join me for a “Meet and Greet”, Monday, August 25th at 6:00pm.
Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am excited about the journey ahead and honored to serve as your principal.
With respect and enthusiasm,
Dr. David Curry
Principal
