About Us...
Joseph Douglass provides a
learning environment that
contributes to the holistic
development of all students by
use of literacy programming,
academics, behavior modification
and character/social skills
development. This collaborative
effort between parents, students
and staff will help students
transition to a successful
future. We teach students who
are
 having
difficulty in school how to
succeed and that failure is not
an option. Students are taught
to be productive contributors to
family, community and school.
All understand that, “Attitude
determines Altitude!” Student
learning with high expectations
in conjunction with social
competence is paramount in the
student's development and
success.
Our Mission...
The mission of Joseph Douglass
School is to provide students
who have had difficulty in the
traditional school setting an
opportunity for success through
personalized programs. We
help students achieve success
and realize their full
potential.
What is Alternative Placement?
Alternative placements are
intended to be short term
educational placements for
students who violate the
Christina School District
Student Code of Conduct and for
those students returning from
placement in an Outside Agency.
Distance Learning Education
Program
The Christina School District
offers a unique Distance
Education Program to high school
students who are precluded from
attending the comprehensive
school. This may include
students who are alternatively
placed, expelled or
transitioning back into public
education from our Outside
Agency.
The Distance Education Program
enables students to access and
complete core curriculum courses
required for high school
graduation. This web-based
program utilizes instructional
technology to promote
accelerated mastery of concepts
and credit retrieval.
Learning is accelerated by
individualized computer assisted
instruction. |
