Frederick Douglass Academy for Young Men Prepares to Welcome Future Scholars at 2025 Open House
On Wednesday, May 28, 2025, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Frederick Douglass Academy for Young Men will open its doors to prospective students and families for a dynamic Open House event designed to showcase the spirit, structure, and success of Detroit’s only all-male public high school. This hour-long experience promises to provide visitors with a firsthand look at the school’s empowering culture, academic rigor, and student-centered programming.
Guests will be warmly welcomed by student ambassadors and greeted with an overview from Principal Dr. Willie White, and Assistant Principal, Lawrence Davis, who will speak on the school’s mission to cultivate leadership, academic excellence, and brotherhood. The Open House will highlight Douglass Academy’s thriving STEM and GIS programs — including its exclusive partnership with Eastern Michigan University — and offer families a look into the pathways available through the school’s NAF (National Academy Foundation) affiliation.
Visitors will also hear from current students and faculty members who will share testimonials, classroom experiences, and enrichment opportunities such as college tours, career exploration, and national conference participation. The event will conclude with guided building tours, giving families a chance to visit classrooms, meet staff, and learn how to enroll. With refreshments, giveaways, and informative resources available, the Open House is more than just an introduction — it’s an invitation to become part of a legacy rooted in scholarship, mentorship, and empowerment.
Frederick Douglass Academy continues to shape the next generation of leaders — and on May 28, the doors will be open for all who are ready to rise.
