HELP US PRESERVE HISTORY

We are officially launching our campaign to seek Chicago Landmark Status for Paul Laurence Dunbar High School Career Academy.
For generations, Dunbar has been more than a school. It has been a place of excellence, leadership, culture, pride, and opportunity for thousands of students and families throughout Chicago.
Now we are asking our alumni, supporters, educators, families, and community to stand with us as we work to preserve this important piece of Chicago history.
This effort is about: 💙 Preserving legacy 💛 Protecting Black educational history 💙 Honoring generations of alumni 💛 Recognizing Dunbar’s impact on Bronzeville and Chicago

📣 ALL DUNBAR ALUMNI
THIS IS OUR MOMENT 🏀💙💛

Calling all generations of Dunbar alumni! It’s time for us to come together, show up, and show the younger generation what it truly means to be part of the Dunbar legacy.

This alumni basketball game is bigger than basketball. It’s about pride, it's about tradition and It’s about reminding our students that Dunbar excellence did not stop when we graduated.

We need every class, every era, every supporter to come out and represent. Bring your classmates, your families, your school spirit, your class shirts, and your memories. Let’s fill the gym with the same pride and energy that made Dunbar special to all of us.

The younger generation is watching us. Let’s show them our support is long lasting!
What class will have the most attendees?

💛What community looks like
💙What excellence looks like
💛What being a proud Dunbar alum truly means

Whether you played sports, marched in the band, were in ROTC, choir, clubs, or simply walked those halls with pride — YOU are part of this legacy.

Let’s come home and make history together.
