Washington High School, first public high school for African-Americans in the state of Georgia and the Atlanta Public Schools system

Description

Washington High School is a secondary education facility in Atlanta listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building serves the local community and continues to function as an active educational institution.

History

The school was established to provide secondary education to Atlanta students, and its building was later recognized as historically significant. Inclusion on the National Register acknowledges its architectural or cultural value to the city.
