History edit

The school was the third district public high school established in the city of Cincinnati, following Hughes H.S. and Withrow 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]

Clubs and activities edit

Walnut Hills' Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL)[10] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).[11]
