DeWitt Clinton High School

The mission of DeWitt Clinton High School is: “To challenge our students to develop college and career readiness through continual reflection, research-based mindset work, goal-setting and progress monitoring, but above all, we offer our students choice. By allowing students to engage in selecting their academic pathway, we support both their individual learning needs and their burgeoning autonomy. Upon graduating, students join our prestigious alumni association, continuing our storied legacy of social change" These academic competencies, grounded in rigor, emphasize college and career readiness and more importantly, build cognitive, aesthetic, moral, psychosocial and developmental capacity in each of our students so that they are prepared to be the architects of their lives and contributors to their community. Our Arts, Engineering, Health, and Honors Pathway Majors are dedicated to ensuring that our students are provided with a choice of opportunities to go beyond traditional core studies and partake in additional academic and artistic pursuits.

Our core values are rooted in academic complexity, collaboration, and social-emotional support systems. Taken together, they push our entire school community to enact our mission and speak collectively to what it is that we do inside and outside of the classroom to help our students meet their individual academic and personal goals.
