Students at Brown Middle School and Hollis Innovation Academy will participate in a ceremonial walk along Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive to commemorate status as Washington High School’s Centennial Class.

Established in 1924, Washington High School became the first high school in the Southeast to provide a free, public education for African Americans, and is the beloved alma mater of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was a proud resident of Atlanta’s Historic Westside neighborhoods.
