Duke Ellington School of the Arts
Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Arts high school in Georgetown, United States
The Duke Ellington School of the Arts operates in a neoclassical building, providing arts education alongside academic curriculum for talented students in Washington D.C.
Founded in 1974 by Peggy Cooper Cafritz and Mike Malone, this institution evolved from the Workshops for Careers in the Arts program into a specialized public high school.
