PRINCIPAL RESIDENCY
2019-2020 Principal Resident at Washington Gifted & Talented Magnet Elementary School
Washington Elementary School is a Gifted and Talented Magnet School located in downtown Raleigh. Washington was founded in 1923 as the first public African American Graded and High School in Raleigh. The school opened in the fall of 1924 and in the years since the first brick was laid, the building has served a diverse group of students as a high school, a combination middle and elementary school, a 6th grade center and currently an elementary gifted and talented magnet school. In 2003, Washington School received designation as a Local Historic Site by the City of Raleigh's Historic Preservation Association. Washington was added to the National Register of Historic Landmarks in 2005.
Children are the primary focus of Washington's school community. In this safe, positive and child-centered atmosphere, students are free to learn, grow, excel. Administrators, teachers, parents, and children work collaboratively to facilitate our innovative instructional program which challenges all children to reach their full potential. In addition to our core academics, Washington's magnet electives nurture our children's unique educational needs and interests. This exciting learning community prepares students to take an active and productive role in their futures.
