Walt Whitman High School opened in the fall of 1962 with 1418 students. The school was built on 17 levels, with a center courtyard and a geodesic dome for its gymnasium and auditorium. In the fall of 1992, Whitman moved into a new building. In the 1990s, Whitman's enrollment increased to 1800 students with increased growth projected. Today, Whitman is an exceedingly cosmopolitan school, a total number of 1847 students (projected estimate) from more than 55 countries. Students at Whitman are overwhelmingly college-bound, 95% go on to college.
