Events & Announcements
Dear Class of 2027 and 2028!
Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful summer and are coming back recharged, motivated, and ready to pursue your dreams! I am excited to see you and support you throughout the school year.
By now, many of you have already had an opportunity to review your class schedule. Please know that we tried our best to provide you with your requested and preferred classes whenever possible.
If you would like to request a change to your schedule, have questions or concerns, please schedule an appointment with me using the link below:
At the time of your scheduled appointment, I will come to your classroom to get you. Please do not leave class or walk around the building looking for me.
Important Schedule Change Deadline
The last day to request a schedule change is Friday, August 28. If you would like to discuss a change, please make sure you schedule an appointment with me before the deadline.
Please keep in mind that I will not be meeting with students for schedule changes without an appointment. Scheduling an appointment will help me make sure that I am able to give each of you the time and attention you need.
Want to Stop By and Say Hi?
I will also have an informal open time during lunch from 10:30–11:00 a.m. I plan to be in the cafeteria during that time, so feel free to stop by if you would like to say hello, ask a quick question, or just chat.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you and helping you have a successful school year. Remember—this is a new year, a fresh start, and another opportunity to work toward your goals and your future!
See you soon!
A Message from the Principal
At Duggan, we believe education is more than academics — it is the foundation for character, leadership, and lifelong success. Every day, our mission is to create a safe, challenging, and inspiring environment where students are empowered to grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
We hold high expectations because we believe deeply in the potential of every scholar who walks through our doors. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to provide rigorous instruction, meaningful enrichment opportunities, and individualized support to ensure that each student is prepared not only for the next grade level, but for the future they envision for themselves.
As principal, I am proud of the growth we continue to see — in academic achievement, in student leadership, and in the strength of our school community. Whether you are a current family, a prospective parent, or a community partner, I invite you to engage with us, support our mission, and be part of the Duggan Academy journey.
Thank you for trusting us with your children and partnering with us in their success.
With pride and commitment,
April Robinson
Principal, Duggan Academy
