Graduation Information

Thursday, May 31 will be the last day of classes in Fayette County Public Schools for 2017-18, as confirmed after the school board voted March 26 to amend the district’s instructional calendar and forgive the final snow day rather than have students make up the Monday missed in mid-March. Therefore, the six high school graduations in Rupp Arena will be May 31 and June 1. 

Frederick Douglass graduation will be Friday, June 1 at 4 pm.

Grading Scale

Parents and Guardians,

The Fayette County Board approved Frederick Douglass High School to use the 10 Point grading scale most commonly used by colleges and universities.  This change will be effective immediately. In the coming days, you will see this change reflected in Infinite Campus and Parent Portal as teacher grade books are updated.

 See below for an explanation of how this will affect your student’s grades:

 If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your student’s counselor.
