In August 2023, DCPS opened its newest high school! MacArthur HS is a comprehensive, neighborhood high school serving the diverse interests and needs of students in Ward 3 and across the city. This new school offers rigorous academics, CTE pathways, arts programming, and a range of athletic and club options, shaped by community feedback and the interests of the first cohorts of students. By enrolling in MacArthur at its founding, the first cohorts of students will have access to exceptional leadership opportunities and will help to shape the character of DCPS's newest HS.
