Eastern High School (Washington, D.C.)
Eastern was a part of the District of Columbia Public Schools restructuring project, reopening in 2011 to incoming first-year students and growing by a grade level each year.[10][11][12] The new Eastern High School building, built by the Charles H. Tompkins Company Incorporated in 1923, was situated at 17th and East Capitol Streets N.E.Specifically, in the case of Bolling vs. Sharpe, the court declared that the practice of racial segregation within the DC public school system was unconstitutional, as it violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.Recognizing the lack of curriculum that represented the Black experience and culture, students formed a collective called the Modern Strivers.This institution offered Eastern students the chance to participate in classes off-campus that focused on Black History and culture in addition to their regular coursework.This included the installation of new windows, flooring, and parabolic troffer lighting in classrooms, as well as the addition of new stairwells, paint, fire doors, bathrooms, and the restoration of the auditorium, along with an overhaul of the elevator.Notably, in 1988, the Eastern choir participated in the International Youth Music Festival held in Vienna, Austria, where they achieved the remarkable feat of securing the second place silver medal.Neighborhoods within Eastern's boundaries include Capitol Hill, Carver Langston, Kingman Park, Navy Yard, and Southwest Waterfront.
