Whetstone High School is a public high school located at 4405 Scenic Drive in Columbus, Ohio. It is a part of Columbus City Schools. Whetstone's mascot is the Brave.[3] Whetstone opened in 1961 to accommodate the overflow from North High School. The expanding student base brought on by growth in north Columbus created the need for an additional school. Notable alumni include Tom Carper (class of 1964), a United States Senator from Delaware, Jennifer Brunner,[4] the current Ohio Secretary of State, Alex Grey (Velzy) an artist currently located in New York City, and John Richardson (class of 1967), UCLA professor, dean in the UCLA Graduate Division (2002-2007), and editor of The Library Quarterly from 1995 to 2003.
