Walnut Hills High School is a public college-preparatory high school in Cincinnati, Ohio. Operated by Cincinnati Public Schools, it houses grades seven through twelve. The school was established in 1895 and has occupied its current building since 1932.
The school was the third district public high school established in the city of Cincinnati, following Hughes H.S. and Woodward H.S., and was opened in September 1895 on the corner of Ashland and Burdett Avenues in Cincinnati. As a district high school, it accommodated the conventional four years (grades 9–12).[ citation needed ]
A new building on Victory Boulevard (now Victory Parkway) was built on 14 acres (57,000 m2) acquired from the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati and completed in 1931. Designed by architect Frederick W. Garber's firm, it remains in use today. The facility was designed for 1700 students and included 31 class rooms, 3 study halls, choral harmony and band rooms, a general shop, a print shop, a mechanical drawing room, 2 swimming pools (separate swimming for boys and girls), a library, a large and a small auditorium, and a kitchen for teaching cooking (with pantry and adjacent living room and dining room). [8]
Four temporary, prefabricated steel classrooms were installed in 1958 to accommodate the increasing student population. [9]
Students at Walnut Hills High School staged a walk-out to protest President Donald Trump’s change to immigration policy. The protest did not go through, and the school got extra security from the Cincinnati School Board to “ensure the safety of students” [10] [11]
Walnut Hills' Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL) [12] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL). [13]
