Educational institutions
High schools
The 45th district is home to Baltimore's storied Dunbar High School. Dunbar High opened 1918 as the Paul Laurence Dunbar Elementary School, No. 101, as part of the separate "colored schools" system then in place in the Baltimore City Public Schools system which was abolished by 1954. It was named in memory of Paul Laurence Dunbar, a famous African-Americanpoet, who had died ten years earlier.
The district is also home to the Heritage High School and the REACH! Partnership School.
Universities
After the 2010 census and the subsequent re-districting, the University of Baltimore and University of Baltimore School of Law are now part of the 45th district.
The University of Baltimore School of Law is housed in the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center, at the corner of Mount Royal Ave. and N. Charles St. on the University of Baltimore's main campus in the Mt. Vernon cultural district.
