Principal's Message

  • Principal Michelle KiffordHello Eagle Family,

    It is truly my honor to serve this amazing community as your Principal.

    A tradition of success and excellence defines Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. We will continue to work together to support our students, staff, parents, and community members in a safe and secure learning environment for all. We will ensure that a high level of rigor and expectations is inherent in all our programs and activities, inside and outside of the classroom. It is our mission to continually challenge our students to be the best they can be and to provide a multitude of resources and opportunities to help them reach their goals, develop into confident leaders, and succeed as productive members of society.

    An amazing culture exists here, and I am so very proud to be surrounded by such an amazing group of students, parents, staff, and community members.

    Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can be of assistance to you. I look forward to a wonderful school year and to seeing you soon!
