| There is nothing upon which the reputation of a school depends more then the record of its students after graduation. A school may be victorious upon the athletic fields; it may be supreme in debating contests; but if its graduates fail when they compete with other in college or the business world, its reputation as a school has yet to be made. | |||||||||||||

| If a school is to be judged by the achievements of its graduates, then DeWitt Clinton High School can take pride in the number of its sons and daughters who have made significant contributions to the cultural, economic, and political development of the United States. | |||||||||||||

The Castle on the Parkway... is a testament to public investment in education... Alumni relec- tions and exerpts from school publications showcase the teachers, principals, coaches and fellow students who made Clinton so magical for many. Just look at their young, unfamiliar faces, filled with hope or apprehension. Who would they become? The book's poignant text and before-and-after photographs vividly provide some surprising answers. Sam Roberts, The New York Times, 2/21/2010 |
