The current principal is Geraldine Ambrosio, the first woman to hold the position in Clinton's history.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Einstein

The best Macy students are invited the join the super-selective "Einstein" program with about 60 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 dramatically more strict than regular Macy. Unlike the lower classes of DeWitt Clinton, most Einstein students have their rank charted on the hallway walls.

Needless to say, those in Einstein are automatically assigned to honors and AP classes as early as freshman year, followed by the mandatory AP Government and AP English 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 regular Macys (double-demotion is rare if even possible). An average of 90 or higher is required to remain in Einstein.this program is 4 students that are willin gand capable!!

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
• Science: Environmental Science, Biology, Biology Research, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, Forensics, Intro to Engineering, Engineering 2,

• 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

Course offerings and availibilty 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 as they learn more in much less time. Also, enviornmental 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, often houses themselves are appropriately called SLCs). For instance, the MACY program included a breakdown into Humanites, Math Science and Engingeering, and Business. Houses, particulatly MACY, tend to have their own classes. However, there maybe some overlap as MACY classes are the real honors courses. Health Careers students have been permitted to take a limited number of MACY classes to count as honors.

School Facilities

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 Reservoir 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.^[4] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (1883x1505, 360 KB)This photograph is in the public domain. ...
