Students at Du Bois have also excelled in regional robotics competitions on the east coast.

Du Bois was formed along with Reginald Lewis and Samuel Banks high schools, following the breakup of Northern high school by the Baltimore City Board of school commissioners. The strategy was to make high schools smaller to help increase the student teacher ratio, increase parental involvement and improve student safety.
