Paul Laurence Dunbar High School is a historically Black public high school in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1870, it was America's first public high school for Black students and is today part of the District of Columbia Public Schools.
The school is in the Truxton Circle neighborhood of Northwest Washington, two blocks from the intersection of New Jersey and New York avenues.
From the early 20th century to the 1950s, Dunbar became known as the classical academic high school for Black students in segregated public schools.
