This award honors schools for academic excellence and for significant progress in closing the achievement gap. The school was named Frederick Douglass to honor the great abolitionist who over came such adversities as being separated from his mother who was then sold. Mr. Douglass grew up illiterate due to the laws prohibiting black students to attend school. He also faced many other economic and social hurdles levied against his people.
