Phelps Architecture, Construction and Engineering High School or Phelps A.C.E. High School is a public high school in the northeast quadrant of the District of Columbia, United States.

The school is often considered to be a prime example of the school investment program currently occurring in DC. Having fallen victim to time and neglect the school was rebuilt by an award-winning architect[who?] from several smaller buildings into its current form. Along with architecture, construction and engineering, other courses are also taught there, including vehicle maintenance/repair and operation of large vehicles such as cranes and diggers on state-of-the-art simulators. The school also has a small greenhouse where plants can be tended by the students. The buildings are powered by a variety of renewable energy sources (indicated by the color-coded pipes inside, each color denoting a different system). The students, as part of their course work, are trusted to monitor and maintain parts of this system.
