Douglass Learning Center Graduates
The Douglass Learning Center has a unique approach to providing an educational opportunity for students. The program is an accelerated self-paced program where students are presented material at their own level. Students sign a contract agreeing to maintain academic progress, no truancy and follow a strict code of conduct. Teachers closely monitor student achievement to ensure that all students are working to the best of their ability. Douglass Learning Center students graduate throughout the year due to the self-paced style program but all are invited to receive their diplomas at Bearcat Stadium with the Sherman High School graduates.
Shown here are Adam Brown
Lauren Manning , Sandra Sibrian and Krickette Smith as they are recognized at the Douglass Learning Center upon their individual graduation. Offering congratulations is Principal, Cotton Wade and the DLC staff.
