Frederick Douglass Elementary Will Be the Stars

Frederick Douglass logo Stars will be the mascot for the new Frederick Douglass Elementary, which will open in August.

The school colors will be navy blue and yellow.

  Frederick Douglass Principal Tim Martino and bookkeeper Julianne Van Norden visited students from Tolbert, Catoctin, and Cool Spring elementary schools to ask them about their preferences in mascots and colors. They also held a night for children who do not attend one of the three feeder schools.

The school’s namesake, Frederick Douglass, wrote an anti-slavery newspaper called the North Star, which is where the stars mascot came from. The school’s logo has three stars, representing the three feeder schools coming together to form the Frederick Douglass school community.
