On March 22, 2023 Mayor Bowser released the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget for Fiscal Year 2024 to Fiscal Year 2029.
The proposed budget includes the opening of Euclid St. Middle School at 800 Euclid St NW (the “Old Banneker” building). The intention is for the Cardozo middle school grades to shift to this new school.
‘Euclid St MS’ is a temporary name for the middle school that will open on Euclid St NW, referred to in previous planning periods as “Shaw” or “Center City”. In the Mayor’s proposed budget, funding begins in Fiscal Year 2026 for planning and design and continues with construction funding in Fiscal Years 2027 and 2028. The school is slated for opening in School Year 2028-2029.
