Joel Elias Spingarn High School was a public high school located in the District of Columbia. The school is named after Joel Elias Spingarn (1875–1939) an American educator and literary critic who established (1913) the Spingarn Medal, awarded annually for outstanding achievement by an African American.

The District of Columbia Public Schools announced on November 13, 2012 that Spingarn High School would be closing along with other schools in the city. [3]

As of 2013 students living in the Spingarn attendance boundary may go to Dunbar High School, Eastern High School, or H.D. Woodson High School.[4]

History

Spingarn High School opened its doors in 1952, as a new and modern segregated High School for African American Students. The High School was the last segregated high school built in Washington, DC, just two years before the U.S. Supreme Court ended school segregation. Spingarn was considered one of the top black schools in the District.[5]

Dr. Purvis J. Wiliams was the first principal at Spingarn High School and served until 1971.[6]

Woodson Junior High School students were housed in Spingarn High School from 1962-1963.[7]
