Dunbar Preparatory High School

The first high school in the city for any race. It was begun in 1870 as Prepatory High School for blacks. It began in the basement of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, but later in 1916 moved to First and N Streets NW, at which time it was renamed Dunbar for the black poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. Its early principals included the first black woman to receive a college degree in America and the first black man to graduate from Harvard. In 1899 Dunbar students scored higher in city examinations than students at either white school. In 1955 Dunbar became part of the neighborhood school system.

1926 Yearbook

Note: Dunbar was an African-American High School located at 7th and T Streets, NW. The yearbook appeared to have belonged to Arthur Warner Williams, Class of 1926. The index below is an "every name" index, recording names of students, faculty, alumni, and names mentioned in local advertisements. In most cases, the yearbook includes a photograph of the seniors and the faculty staff. If a photograph is included in the yearbook, I have placed the name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. If a name is written in lower case, no photograph is included. The yearbook also includes essays and poems written by the students and, for seniors, the college they planned to attend. If you have questions about an entry, contact the transcriber, Susan Salus.
