High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
 
Douglas Anderson School of the Arts is a magnet high school in the Duval County Jacksonville, Florida. The school first opened in the 1930s as a traditional school for African-American students. Over the years, it also served as a sixth and seventh grade center. Douglas Anderson became an arts school in 1985. Jackie Cornelius is the Principal of the school.    
 
The students can take traditional high school courses such as English, Biology, etc., while concurrently attending arts classes as part of a specific arts program. The arts areas in which a student may select are creative writing, dance, instrumental music, theatre, technical theatre, film, visual arts, piano, guitar, and vocal music. Students are accepted to the school based on auditions offered in the spring of each school year. A number of Advanced Placement and honors classes are also offered in numerous academic areas.
 
The Douglas Anderson Music Department offers private and group instruction as well as band, choral, and orchestral ensembles. Performances throughout Florida and the nation occur on a regular basis. The creative writing department at Douglas Anderson is led by Ms. Jackie Jones with the support of Addae Moon, Janet Herrick, Denise Dvorak and Brandy Allport. The Theater Arts Tech Theater department has been around since the school's beginning.
 
Douglas Anderson School is highly academic and offers not only several Advanced Placement courses, but a wide variety of athletic and extra curricular opportunities for all students.
