At Dunbar, we believe in fostering an environment where students can excel academically, socially, and personally. Our commitment to excellence in education is unwavering, and we strive to provide our students with the tools, resources, and support they need to reach their full potential.

As the principal, I am dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive learning community where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.

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.
