1882 Washington High School District of Columbia DC Program Booklet Yearbook 1st Edition

The primary schools were soon overburdened; and in September 1876, the first public high school opened. The school was known as the Advanced Grammar School for Girls. The following year, a similar school for boys was launched. The schools were casually referred to as the Girls High School and the Boys High School. Both advanced schools grew rapidly, soon reaching full capacity. While Congress had made appropriations for buildings for lower schools, there was no equivalent funding for high school accommodations. That was remedied in 1880 when Congress allocated funds to erect a suitable building for a high school. By September 1882, the building was complete and ready for occupancy.

The two advanced grammar schools were joined and became known as the Washington High School. Edward A. Paul served as principal. The new school was located on O Street between 6th and 7th, northwest. The building had 16 class rooms, 3 study rooms, a library, drawing room, drill hall, gymnasium, office, teachers rooms, an assembly hall, and laboratories.
