In this section, the history of the first black public high school, Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School, is discussed as a model of academic excellence for black high schools to aspire to. Despite the obstacle of segregation preventing many black students from attending high school, dedicated teachers with advanced degrees worked to provide a classical education. These black public high schools not only trained future leaders of the African American community, but also instilled values of commitment to their community. Though Brown v. Board of Education ruled segregation in schools unconstitutional, the process of integration led to the loss of resources and black administrators and teachers in black schools, ultimately resulting in lower expectations for black students. Nonetheless, black public high schools were able to create leaders in various fields despite pervasive and pernicious segregation.
