The Little Rock School District is proud to share that Dunbar Magnet Middle School is currently under consideration for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. This recognition would honor the school's rich cultural legacy and its vital role in the history of education and civil rights in Arkansas.
Located in the heart of Little Rock, Dunbar has long served as a cornerstone of the community. The nomination effort, supported by a federal grant, is part of a broader initiative by the City of Little Rock to recognize and preserve historically significant sites.
The nomination is scheduled to be reviewed by the Historic District Commission at its upcoming meeting on July 7, 2025. Community members can access more information, including the full nomination report and background on the initiative, by visiting the Current Projects webpage.
