Booker T. Washington High School

Booker T. Washington High School at 45 White House Drive southwest, Atlanta, Georgia is one of the oldest high schools and buildings in the city. It is also home to the Bulldogs sports team. They offer academic assistance to any student who wishes to continue to college or a university by offering SAT questions of the day, college board information, pocket guide, Federal Student Aid paperwork, Hope Scholarship information, and much more.

The Bulldogs are a proud football team that has won the championships in the past. They won in 1948, 1949, 1951, and 1958. They have not won since. Basketball was successful for women in the 60s and for the men. The most recent win for men was in 1987. Most of their athletics for championships at the state level were back in the 50s and 60s.

Mr. Charles L. Harper was the first principle of the high school. Ms. Marjorie Ricks and her classmates registered to vote in 1945 marking a bit of history for the school. By 1986 the building was added to the National Historic Register for historic places. Over the years there have been other historical figures to visit like George W. Bush in 2002.
