All-boys high school in Detroit wants more students
May 16, 2008
Frederick Douglass High may be a victim of its old reputation as a "bad boys" school.
Once an alternative school for those kicked out of other schools, Frederick Douglass High School in Detroit has been academically and culturally turned around and now is a college preparatory academy. The only all-boys public school in the state, its freshmen all take JROTC to improve discipline and leadership skills, a National Honor Society chapter flourishes and male mentoring programs help build self-esteem.
