Welcome to Frederick Douglas High School, Home of the Astros! Established in 1968, Douglass High School is located in southwest Atlanta at 225 Hamilton E. Holmes Drive. Douglass High School has an average enrollment of 1,500 students destined for greatness.

Douglass HS has established itself as a school rooted in rich traditions and history and maintains a focus on high expectations for our scholars. Whether in our classrooms, the community, or within our athletics, we expect our students to achieve and exceed all expectations.

As a STEAM focused school, we offer over 11 Career Technical Agricultural Educational pathways for our scholars to engage under the umbrella of Business, Management & Administration, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Personal Care Services (Cosmetology, Barbering, & Nail Care Services), Performing & Visual Arts, and JROTC. As an additional challenge, our students can engage in the Iovine & Young Center @ Douglass High School. IYC is a unique, reimagined high school experience that allows students to explore their passion for innovation and design through critical thinking.

At Frederick Douglas High School, we are committed to nurturing and educating the whole child. We invest in our students daily by providing numerous wraparound services and support to ensure that all our scholars are successful. We truly believe that by embracing and strengthening our village, our scholars will succeed.
