Paul is named for Edward A. Paul, the first principal of Washington High School from 1877-1888. Paul was born in Havervill, MA in 1855 and graduated from high school in Lawrence, MA before graduating from Dartmouth in 1876. He moved immediately to Washington, DC to become a school teacher and after one year took over the Advanced Grammar School for Boys as its only teacher and principal. The experimental school was chosen instead of a high school as some objected to the establishment of a high school. Later the Advanced Grammar School for Boys and a similar one for girls were combined to create the Washington High School (the current Cardozo Education Campus). In 1885, he briefly served as Acting Superintendent of schools. In 1888 he died in a traffic collision when his bicycle was run down from behind by a horse-drawn carriage.
