Anacostia High School is a public high school in
Anacostia , in the
Southeast quadrant of the
District of Columbia .
History
In August 2009, Friendship Public Charter School partnered with DC Public Schools to manage the high school. As a result, the school became known as the Academies at Anacostia and was split into four separate academies. In 2009–10, there were two ninth-grade academies (Sojourner Truth and Charles Drew), one 10-12th grade academy (Frederick Douglass), and one academy for under-credited and overage students (Matthew Henson). In 2010–11, the two ninth-grade academies will become 9-10th grade academies, while the larger 10-12th grade academy (Frederick Douglass) will become 11-12th. Matthew Henson academy will stay intact. In 2011–12, Sojourner Truth and Charles Drew will expand to 9-11th grades, while Frederick Douglass will only be seniors. In 2012–13, Sojourner Truth and Charles Drew will be fully operational 9-12th grade academies, and Frederick Douglass will no longer exist.
This setup is based on the
Small Learning Community (SLC) model.
Built in 1935, with subsequent additions in the 1940s, 50s, and 70s, the Anacostia High School was in desperate need of a complete renovation and modernization that would not only bring the school up to the highest educational standards but would also serve to transform the school building into a simple, understated canvas for the art and lives of its students. Architectural design firm
Sorg Architects designed the renovation of Anacostia High School to restore the exterior of the original building steeped in
sustainable design practice.
