The Walt Whitman Community School (WWCS) was a private alternative school in Oak Lawn, Dallas, Texas that catered to youth who identified as LGBT. It opened in 1997 and closed in 2004. It was the United States's first LGBT-oriented private school, and by 2003 it remained the country's only LGBT-oriented private school not in Manhattan or Los Angeles. It was co-founded by Becky Thompson and Pamala Stone. The former is lesbian, while the latter is straight. The school was named after Walt Whitman.
