• History & Memorable Moments

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, although this Boys High School was not related to the one in Brooklyn. This school was renamed for DeWitt Clinton in 1900, 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, where it has remained. The current principal is Geraldine Ambrosio, the first woman to hold the Clinton Principalship.^[1]

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.^[1]
