Paul Public Charter School is a charter school in northwest Washington, D.C., serving students from fifth to twelfth grade.

He moved immediately to Washington, D.C., to become a schoolteacher and, after a year, took over the Advanced Grammar School for Boys in Columbia Heights as its only teacher and principal.

Later, the Advanced Grammar School for Boys and a similar one for girls were combined to create Washington High School (the current Cardozo Education Campus).

In 1888, he died in a traffic collision when his bicycle was run down from behind by a horse-drawn carriage.

The first and only public school in Washington, D.C. to convert to a charter, it was originally founded in 1930.
