Congratulations to the Extraordinary Graduates of Frederick A. Douglass High School's Class of 2023!

KIPP Central City Academy teacher, Christopher Hatten, partnered with Electric Girls' director, Bryoni Prentice, for a "Food for Thought" project that challenged students to create and print their own customized chocolate molds.

Twin sisters Kayla and Kyla Frey from Frederick A. Douglass High School in New Orleans have gained recognition for their outstanding academic achievements. Kayla ranks first and Kyla ranks third in their class. Together they have amassed nearly $5 million in scholarships. Despite facing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and Hurricane Ida, Kayla excelled in her studies and participated in various extracurricular activities, while Kyla, a semi-finalist for the Gates Scholarship, pursued her interest in athletic training. The twins credit their success to their strong work ethic and the multiple Career Pathway Programs at their school, along with support from family, school leaders, and teachers.
