At the Historic Paul Laurence Dunbar High School!

Interim Principal
Thank you for choosing Dunbar, a school with a proud legacy of excellence and innovation. For over 150 years, Dunbar has stood as a beacon of opportunity, serving as the nation's first high school for African American students. We are deeply honored to have connections to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, and we remain committed to educating the whole child.
Dunbar is the premier high school for all students, offering five exceptional academies:
  • Charles R. Drew Engineering
  • James Pittman Information Technology
  • Anthony Wash Sports Management
  • Carter G. Woodson Black Studies
  • Eleanor Holmes Norton Law and Public Policy 
Our students also thrive in athletics, with over 26 programs boasting state championships in football and track, as well as city titles in girls' basketball and girls' track.
As Principal, I am thrilled to lead this extraordinary institution and its vibrant community. I look forward to welcoming you to Dunbar, where history and innovation come together to prepare students for bright futures.
Warm regards,
Tiffany White
