DMS IS A TWO-TIME SCHOOL OF DISTINCTION
We are incredibly proud to share that Douglas Middle School has been recertified as a School of Distinction!
This process happens every 4 years through the association of middle level education. DMS was certified in 2022 and now again in 2026!
This recognition reflects the intentional work happening every day at DMS; the commitment of our staff, the growth and spirit of our students, the partnership of our families, and a school community that believes deeply that Everyone Belongs, Everyone Becomes.
Being recertified reminds us that what makes DMS special isn't one program, one person, or one moment. It is the way our entire Bearkit community continues to show up for kids, grow together, and create a middle school where students can belong and become.
Two-time School of Distinction. One incredible DMS community.
We are proud to be Bearkits!
