Booker T. Washington High School The school of visual and performing arts. A modern eight-million-dollar school was opened in September 1974. Dr. Thomas Newby was appointed principal in December 1977. Under his leadership, Booker T. Washington continued the quest for excellence and service to the community.

In December 2019,

Norfolk School Board passed a resolution to provide funding and guidance to shape the future of the historic Booker T. Washington High School to ensure that Booker T. Washington High School has a vibrant and competitive Academy that will retain and attract a diverse group of students from across the city.”

Friends of BTW was formed by a fantastic group of citizens in the Norfolk area for one common goal: to ensure Booker T Washington High School gets the tools needed to thrive. We are beyond grateful for working to help achieve this goal.
