Washington High School Parents and Students! On behalf of the entire Washington High School community, it is truly my pleasure to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you as we begin the 2015-16 school year. Last year was fantastic, and this year will be even better! As many of you know, all Washington Cluster Schools will begin plans to implement our Signature Cluster Plan: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). STEM education is based on rigorous curriculum that integrates subjects as opposed to teaching them separately. STEM education’s integration of hands-on, real-world learning tasks, coupled with academic theory, help students master rigorous math and science concepts. In addition to STEM, we will continue to offer our world class Early College program to students interested in receiving college credit while in high school. We are also in the process of growing our Fine Arts program. This year Brown Middle and Washington High will offer Drama and Dance classes. We will also have two theatrical productions featuring students from the elementary, middle and high schools. This will truly be a great year for our school and cluster!
As in previous years, all students are expected to wear the school uniform on a daily basis. Washington High School requires all students to wear a white or royal blue collared polo shirt. Students are also required to wear black, khaki or blue bottoms (pants or knee length skirts/shorts). Jeans are not allowed. Students may wear appropriate shoes of their choice; however, students are not allowed to wear high heels. Students are allowed a “free day” each Frid22ay to wear clothing of their choice (clothing must follow the Atlanta Public Schools Dress Code Policy). You are always welcome at Washington High School. We need your help continuing the legacy of excellence and ensuring that Washington becomes the premier institution of learning for our students. With a caring culture of trust and collaboration, every student will graduate ready for college and career.
Sincerely, Tasharah Wilson, Ed.D. Principal Booker T. Washington High School "One School, One Family!" SCHOOL HISTORY Booker T. Washington High School, named for the famous educator, opened in September 1924 under the auspices of the Atlanta Board of Education, with the late Charles Lincoln Harper as principal. It is the first public high school for African-Americans in the state of Georgia and the Atlanta Public Schools. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1927, the only exact replica of the Booker T. Washington monument at Tuskegee University in Alabama was erected at the school's entrance. The statue of Washington, called "Booker T. Washington Lifting the Veil of Ignorance" by sculptor Charles Keck reads: "He lifted the veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress through education and industry." Prior to its transformation in 2009 to small schools, Washington High had been led by nine principals - Mr. Charles Lincoln Harper ( 1924-1942), Mr. Clinton Cornell (1942-1961), Dr. J. Y. Moreland (1961-1968), Dr. Alfonso Dawson (1968-1973), Dr. Robert Collins, Jr. (1973-1990), Dr. Robert Lowe (1990-194), Dr. Joyce Clark (1994-1996), Dr. Shirley Kilgore (1996-2005), and Mr. Carter E. Coleman, Jr. (2005-2009). Washington High School operated as three small schools within a school from 2009 until 2014. On August 12, 2013, the Atlanta Board of Education passed a resolution restoring Booker T. Washington to one comprehensive high school with one principal...Dr. Tasharah Wilson. Alma Mater “Washington! O Washington!” Washington! O Washington! Thy name shall be our guide, For learning, fame, renown and gain Our gratitude abides. As long as God’s eternal love Shall hold their portals wide For God and man in every land We’ll serve for Washington. Chorus Washington! O Washington! Thy name shall be our guide, For God and man in every land We’ll live for Washington. Washington! O Washington! Thy name shall never die Our hearts are thine, thy fame shall shine O’er earth and sea and sky. Thy halls shall echo memories, Thy percepts reign sublime, Where’er we roam, where’er our home We’ll live for Washington.
This handbook is designed to serve as an operation and accountability guide for students and parents of Booker T. Washington High School. The policies, procedures, protocols, and code of conduct and consequences articulated in this handbook will provide students and parents with a set of pathways and strategies for participation in activities and successful matriculation through High School.
