  • Dunbar High was an all-black high school. It opened in 1923 and is still open till this day. It may not be in the same building but we definitely still have the ongoing spirit.

  • This sign well represents the beliefs of Dunbar. Not only did this apply back on North Upper Street, now it applies to the same school on Man ‘O’ War.
