A NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Principal Catrina Bailey

Paul Laurence Dunbar High School is a special high school that allows urban students to take courses toward a high school diploma and an associate’s degree at the same time. The academies make it easier for a student to make the transition between high school and college. The learning environment recognizes and takes the steps necessary to prepare high school students for college-level work.

Shared Campus Model:

Through a new shared campus model, students at Dunbar and Thurgood can access various new pathways. Students who wish to take part in a pathway not offered at their building can be transported to the other school during the school day.
 
Pathways at Dunbar include DPS University, Agriculture, Content Creator, and Sports, Fitness & Wellness.
 
Pathways at Thurgood include DPS University, Biotechnology, Arts & Communications, Health Sciences, and Engineering & IT.
 
DPS University involves a cohort of 9th and 10th-grade students who will focus on taking College Credit Plus courses in pursuit of an Associate Degree. Students who stick with this program have the ability to earn an Associate Degree by the time they graduate high school.
 
For more information about these programs, please speak to the principal or school counselor.
