Social Studies Symposium marks America's 250th
On Wednesday, May 15, Duncan U. Fletcher High School’s Social Studies Department hosted its inaugural symposium, "Moments in American History: Commemorating America's 250th." This event provided a platform for students to showcase their in-depth research and presentations on significant moments in American history, aligning with the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. Students presented projects that explored a wide range of historical topics, demonstrating their understanding and critical analysis of key events that have shaped the nation. The symposium highlighted the dedication and hard work of the students and their teachers in exploring the rich tapestry of American history. During the event, awards were presented to students whose projects were recognized for their exceptional research, presentation skills, and historical insight. These awards celebrate the students' commitment to learning and their ability to convey complex historical narratives effectively. The symposium not only served as an academic achievement for the students but also as a valuable opportunity for the school community to engage with and reflect upon the historical milestones that define America.
Douglas Anderson Symphony Orchestra holds Broadway-themed concert in support of invitation to Midwest Clinic
The Douglas Anderson Symphony Orchestra held a Broadway-themed concert this past weekend to support their upcoming invitation to perform at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago. The concert, titled "Symphony in the City: A Broadway Celebration," featured a selection of beloved show tunes performed by the talented student musicians. The Douglas Anderson School of the Arts is a highly regarded institution within Duval County Public Schools, known for its robust arts programs. The Midwest Clinic is an internationally recognized convention for music educators and performers, and an invitation to perform there is a significant honor for any ensemble. The orchestra hopes to raise funds to help cover travel and accommodation costs for their students and staff for the December event.
