It has been my honor and privilege to serve as the chairman of the board of directors for nearly a decade for this great and historic institution, Frederick Douglass High School.

I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to our dedicated Executive Board members along with the school faculty and staff who are the foundation of our success. Our commitment coupled with our focus on our students has allowed us to consistently deliver exceptional results in providing outstanding scholarships to our amazing graduates. Throughout my tenure we have received some astounding donations toward our scholarship fund that has been a tremendous blessing to our students.

Looking ahead, I remain optimistic about our future endeavors. I am confident that with your continued support and the exceptional leadership of our executive team, we will not only maintain our current momentum but also reach even greater heights in the years to come.

I am preparing for a new phase in my life as I become your chairman emeritus. Thank you for your unwavering trust in me. With your new chairman, Mr. Johnnie Foreman, Jr., I look forward to us having a prosperous future together.

Sincerely,
Walter G. Brooks, Sr., HFDHSAA Chairman Emeritus
