Congratulations to PLD student Saikrish Kolli on an incredible achievement at the 2026 International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)!

In May 2026, Saikrish partnered with a student from Park Tudor High School in Indiana to earn 1st Place in the Physics and Astronomy category for their project, "Solar-Guided Tokamak Reactor Optimization."

This outstanding accomplishment showcases the innovation, dedication, and excellence of our students on an international stage.

Bulldog Training Camp is almost here!

All incoming freshmen and new Bulldogs are invited to join us on Monday, August 10, from 5:00–8:00 PM as we prepare for an exciting year at Dunbar.

Students will receive their schedules, explore the activity hallway, connect with clubs and organizations, and have the opportunity to walk their schedules before the first day of school. Families can get assistance with ParentSquare, online forms, fee payments, PTSA information, and more.

During the evening, parents will attend information sessions with administrators and counselors, while students will meet school leaders, learn about life at Dunbar, hear from student leaders, and get answers to their questions about schedules, activities, supports, and the school year ahead.

Food trucks will be available throughout the event.
