What happens after high school? At Douglass Learning Academy (DLA) we are dedicated in helping our students graduate and prepare for their future. Sergeant Mark Villanueva of the US Marine Corps spoke about a future in military service. They had plenty to share about training in skills that will help students succeed even if they leave the Marines. They had plenty to share about the benefits afforded our service men and women. DLA students appreciated the opportunity to look into a future of career opportunities within the Marines.
"See You at the Pole" 2026, was a beautiful morning. At Eastside Elementary students, parents, and staff joined hands with staff from Douglass Learning Academy and an extra special guest, Superintedent Dr. Glenn Barnes. Eastside students did an excellent job officiating and praying. Prayers went up for Cleveland ISD students, staff, families, and community. Prayers went up for schools around the country. Prayers went up to squelch the tyranny of depression and anxiety that seems to lurk in our hallways. Participants enjoyed this time of peace, reflection, and community.
Douglass Learning Academy (DLA) is not just perparing students for today but preparing them for their tomorrow. DLA welcomed Universal Technical Institute (UTI) to speak with students. UTI was happy to share information about a number of "AI proof" career paths including auto/diesel, electrical, HVACR, and welding.
