What do you intend doing after passing High school.

Is doing Present participle in the above sentence? I understand a participle is a word formed from a verb which can be used as an adjective. So Verb+ing would be either present participle, gerund or may be used as verb with tenses.

So whenever I see any verb with "ing" I think it is present participle. (if not gerund and verb). Please clarify
 
The -ing form of a verb used after a preposition such as 'after' must be a gerund instead of a present participle.

Not a teacher.
 
You don't pass high school.

'What do you intend doing after graduating from/finishing high school?'
 
Is "doing" present participle in the above sentence
 
I consider 'doing' a gerund in 'intend doing something', but I am not a teacher.
 
May I say that the -ing form used after a transitive verb must be a gerund?
