Principal's Message:

                       

Welcome to the Douglas High School website.  The community of the Carson Valley is proud of our students and their accomplishments.  A major reason why Douglas High School is a great place is because we have exceptional students, parents, staff, and community members working together to provide meaningful educational opportunities.

We have a common vision of the future for each of our students that our school mission statement reflects:

“Douglas High School students will have opportunities to achieve their potential and to graduate as competent, life-long learners who continue to grow as productive citizens.”

Our staff and community want the best for our students, and we work hard to achieve our mission and to meet the dreams and goals of our students.

On our website you will find valuable information about the programs and opportunities we have at our school.  There is also a link to the Douglas County School District website if you would like to learn more about our school district.

Please feel free to contact any of our staff if you have any questions or comments.

Go Tigers!

Marty Swisher, Principal
