DeWitt Clinton High School is an American high school located in New York City.

Clinton opened in 1897 at 60 West 13th Street at the northern end of Greenwich Village under the name of Boys High School[1], although this Boys High School was not related to the one in Brooklyn. This school was renamed for DeWitt Clinton in 1900[1], and it remained the last gender-segregated public school in New York until 1983. Clinton moved to a new building at 100 West Mosholu Parkway South and East 205th Street in the Bedford Park section of the Bronx in 1929[1], where it has remained. The current principal is Geraldine Ambrosio, the first woman to hold the Clinton Principalship.

In 1996, Clinton was selected by Redbook magazine as one of the five most improved schools in America. In 1999, US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT designated Clinton as one of the most outstanding schools in America.

The school receives government aid because of the low income status of its students. As of 2006, the school has a large Hispanic population, followed by Blacks and Asians. Caucasians, primarily Albanians, comprise a tiny minority.

[edit] Organization-Houses/Small Learning Communities

Clinton is split into several small learning communities (SLC). They include the Macy Honors Gifted Program (internally referred to often as the Macy House), Health Professions, Veterinary Professions, Public Service, Business Enterprise, Future Teachers, Academy House, and Varsity House.

[edit] Macy Honors Gifted Program

DeWitt Clinton High School is best known for its Macy honors program, attracting intelligent, hard-working kids, many of whom are poor enough to qualify for free lunch, preparing them for selective colleges such as Cornell, MIT, Columbia, Wesleyan, Tufts, and Yale. The Macy program has been expanded to serve 1,200 students. The current Macy Coordinator is Phyllis McCabe. [2]

The Macy Honors Gifted Program in the Sciences and Humanities has its own teachers, and a nine-period day compared to the regular New York City 8 period day. The program offers specialized and advanced Technology (SMT) courses, Science, Math, English, Law, Government, Philosophy and Great Books. All students in the program are required to have a minimum average of 80 and not to fail any courses. When MACY students are removed from the program, they are placed in "Excel," a special MACY run program just for its kick-outs and drop-outs, before getting fully demoted to the lower programs.

[edit] Einstein

The advanced Macy students are invited to join the super-selective "Einstein" program with about 50 students in each grade, totaling to a few hundred students from the Macy Honors Gifted Program in the Sciences and Humanities. In Einstein, the academic performance requirements are more strict than regular Macy.

Those in Einstein are automatically assigned to honors and AP classes as early as freshman year, followed by the mandatory AP United States History and AP English Language for Einstein students who make it to their junior year. Many within this elite of elites program either drop out of Einstein, or get demoted to Excel. Although an average of 90 or higher is allegedly required to remain in Einstein, many with averages in the eighties range are in it. It is observed that many who are taken out of Einstein have failed a class or more or merely performed inexcusably poor. This program is for students who are willing and capable.

[edit] Course Offerings

Partly due to the immensity of size, DeWitt Clinton High School has several course offerings, more than most New York City Schools. REGULAR and ELECTIVES:

  • Mathematics: Integrated Algebra, Mathematics A, Mathematics B, College Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus
  • Science: Environmental Science, Biology, Biology Research, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, Forensics, Intro to Engineering, Engineering 2,
  • History: World History, United States History, Government, Historical Research, Presidents, Law, New York History, Economics
  • Foreign Language: Spanish, Spanish Heritage, Spanish Native, French, Latin
  • English: In addition to English 1-8, there are Literary Criticism 1 and 2, Great Books, TDF- Playwriting, Writing, Journalism, Film and the WITT Seminar on Activism.
  • Physical Education and Health: Karate, Yoga, Fitness, Basketball, Gymnastics, Boys Weightlifting, Girls Weightlifting, Dance, Health
  • Art and Music: Beg Guitar, Advanced Guitar, Beg Piano, Chorus, History of Music, Band, Marching Band, Studio Art, Photography, Drawing, Ceramics
  • Technology (SMT): Computer Applications, Computer Research

Advanced PlacementTM:

  • Mathematics: Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Statistics
  • Science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics
  • English: Language and Composition, Literature and Composition
  • Social Studies: World History, United States History, United States Government and Politics, European History, Macroeconomics, Microeeconomics, Psychology
  • Foreign Language: Spanish Language and Composition, Spanish Literature and Composition

Course offerings and availability depend highly upon the house a student is enrolled in. For instance, the Mathematics A and B tracks tend to be shorter for MACY students. Also, environmental science is usually the starter course for DeWitt Clinton High School, whereas MACY students skip straight to the "Biology" course. Health Careers students can have Health classes for up to two years whereas others get one term under the incorrect course name "hygiene" (referred to as Health above). Even within some houses, there are smaller divisions or Small Learning Communities (SLCs). For instance, the MACY program included a breakdown into Humanities, Math Science and Engineering, and Business. Houses, particularly MACY, tend to have their own classes. However, there maybe some overlap as MACY classes are often considered "honors" courses. Health Careers students have been permitted to take a limited number of MACY classes to count as honors.

DeWitt Clinton High School is currently located at 100 West Mosholu Parkway South. It dominates the entire gargantuan block excluding the small ground at the end that the Bronx High School of Science is situated on. Facing the main entrance of the building, Paul Avenue runs to the left and Goulden Avenue to the right. The school faces Mosholu Parkway, and has its turf behind it, followed by a small baseball field, and then the large one. It is at this point that DeWitt Clinton territory ends, meeting that of Bronx Science.[6]

Clinton has a small branch of Montefiore Medical Clinic in it, capable of supplying essential services to the students of the campus. [7]

[edit] DeWitt Clinton in the Media

A vital part of the Bronx, the institution was featured in A WALK THROUGH THE BRONX WITH DAVID HARTMAN AND HISTORIAN BARRY LEWIS. In it, Hartman and Lewis take a peek at the library. [9]

The DeWitt Clinton Chorus performed songs in the 2000 production, Finding Forrester. [10]

Clintonites made headlines and New York City School history in September 2005, when they walked out. The 1,500 strong walk out was a result of the installation of metal detectors [11]

  • DeWitt Clinton High School (DWCHS) students organized one of the largest high school walkouts in New York in September 19th, 2005. The protest occurred over installation of airport-style metal detectors and x-ray scanners, which had already been installed in many other schools throughout New York City. [35] In conversation, many students admitted that they were mostly upset that the metal detectors finally allowed the school to enforce the longstanding policy against using cell phones in school, since it provided an effective means to prevent the phones from getting into the school.
  • DeWitt Clinton High School and Its Extraordinary Influence on American Life is expected to be published soon about the experiences of Clinton alumni and some present students as well. It is co-written by Gerard Pelisson and James A. Garvey III. [36]
