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.

Famous quotes containing the word records:
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“It’s always the generals with the bloodiest records who are the first to shout what a hell it is. And it’s always the war widows who lead the Memorial Day parades.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
