History

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). In 1919, Walnut Hills became a classical high school (college-preparatory school) and was expanded to accommodate six years (grades 7–12). Students were drawn from the entire city, rather than from a defined district within the city. A new building on Victory Boulevard (now Victory Parkway) was built on acquired from the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati and completed in 1931. Designed by architect
Frederick W. Garber Frederick W. Garber (July 21, 1877 – August 7, 1950) was an American architect in Cincinnati, Ohio and the principal architect in the Garber & Woodward firm with Clifford B. Woodward (1880–1932). The firm operated from 1904 until it was dissol ...
'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).

are to be found throughout the building, including the masks of comedy and tragedy adorning the proscenium arch of the large theatrical auditorium. The school's original Ashland and Burdett location became the Burdett School in 1932, which closed in 1979. Four temporary, prefabricated steel classrooms, called "The Colony" or "the Tin Can" by resentful students, were installed in 1958 to accommodate the increasing student population.''Visiting Committee Report Walnut Hills High School'' by the Cincinnati School Foundation, Appendix A, page 48, April 1969 As of the 2011–2012 school year, these have been demolished. In 1960, a one-story annex added 17 classrooms, including a language laboratory and typing lab, to the school. In 1976, a Fine Arts Complex was added, partially supplementing existing facilities near the main auditorium. In 1998, the Annex was razed and an Arts and Science Center containing 30 classrooms and science labs replaced it in 1999. The school opened a new stadium in September 2006 named after alumnus Robert S. Marx, who went on to become a judge in Michigan. In 2016, a new two-toned synthetic turf was installed. A comprehensive renovation project began in the 2010–2011 school year, and was completed for the 2014–2015 school year.

and the school's Alumni Foundation included a complete renovation of the original 1931 building, new music lyceum and athletic complex, including a new gym seating 1200 along 3 of the 4 walls, locker rooms, and a full size natatorium featuring a 25-meter, 6 lane pool. The new gym held its first game on November 30, 2012. A two-floor, 15 classroom foreign language wing was built, along with 4 outdoor courtyards around the school. The building remained open and in use, with 7 temporary modular buildings removed in 2013 to make way for the Christopher South Athletic Complex, which opened in October 2014. The complex features an all-weather synthetic turf field lined for football, soccer, and lacrosse, stands that seat 400, a press box, concessions, and batting cages. Six new hard-surface tennis courts opened in the spring of 2016.
