Whittier School was located at 22nd and Vine Streets in Lincoln, Nebraska and used as an elementary school from 1893 to 1923, when a new building was built. When the new building was completed, it was used as a junior high school. Whittier School was named for the American poet, John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892).
