History [edit]
Booker T. Washington Loftier School for the Performing and Visual Arts
In 1892, Dallas established its outset loftier school for African American pupils. In 1911, the school was enlarged and named the Dallas Colored High School. The schoolhouse was moved in 1922 to larger quarters, designed by famed Dallas architects Lang & Witchell, and renamed Booker T. Washington High Schoolhouse, after the African-American education pioneer Booker T. Washington. For many years, it was the only Dallas high school that immune students of color.
In 1939, Wilmer-Hutchins Colored High Schoolhouse of the Wilmer-Hutchins ISD burned down in a burn. Subsequently, African-American WHISD students were sent to DISD loftier schools for "colored" people such as Washington.[six]
In 1942, instructor Thelma Paige Richardson sued the Dallas School Commune, enervating equalization of pay based upon tenure and merit; the school commune denied that whatever discrimination was taking place. Richardson, with the help of the NAACP, won the case, increasing general awareness of discrimination in the public school organisation.
In 1952, it was enlarged withal over again, and given the new proper name as Booker T. Washington Technical Loftier Schoolhouse.
In 1976, the school was repurposed as the Arts Magnet at Booker T. Washington High Schoolhouse, inheriting and expanding the magnet-schoolhouse arts curriculum that had been in place in the Performing Arts Cluster at Skyline Loftier School since 1970. The Arts Magnet would become a prototype for magnet schools across the country. The repurposing was part of the Federal Court Desegregation Orders that created the magnet school system in Dallas ISD (Tasby 5. Estes [7]). Paul Baker was selected by Superintendent Estes as Founding Director of the School.
The neighborhood surrounding Washington has evolved into the Dallas Arts District. The principal school building was designated an official Dallas Landmark in 2006.[8]
In 2008, the building was enlarged a tertiary time when a new $65 million facility designed by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Compages, was completed. The expansion preserved the celebrated master building.[9]
