History

Edison High School was opened in 1929 on what is now the campus for John Greenleaf Whittier Academy at 2101 Edison Drive, San Antonio. It was originally a six-year junior-senior school. Increased enrollment and crowded conditions created the need to split the schools into two campuses. In September 1958, grades ten through twelve were moved into the new Edison High School building at 701 Santa Monica street. Grades seven through nine remained in the old building and became the new student body of John Greenleaf Whittier Junior High School. When SAISD moved 9th grade to the high school, John Greenleaf Whittier became a middle school housing grades 6, 7 and 8. In the fall of 2003 students at the junior high moved into temporary facilities next to the school building while new additional construction was completed. The new school opened in August 2007 as Whittier Health Science Academy. The Academy is partnered with the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.

The school received national attention in 1995 as it was at the center of the case of United States v. Lopez .
