Records
- DeWitt Clinton High School (DWCHS) students organized one of the largest high school walkouts in New York on September 19, 2005. The protest occurred over installation of airport-style metal detectors and x-ray scanners, which had already been installed in many other schools throughout New York City.
- According to the school, it offers more Advanced Placement (AP) courses than any other school in the borough other than the Bronx High School of Science.
- DeWitt Clinton High School has the largest high school Alumni Association in the world. This alumni association prevented the school from being split into smaller schools like some of its peer schools including sister-school Walton.

Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
