The International Program dates back to the 1980s.

A new gymnasium and a revamped football complex have been added from gifts provided by alumni and the National Football League Cincinnati Bengals. The Withrow sports complex facilities are now suitable for state playoff games.

The Withrow Band has been recognized nationally many times and has been chosen to march in the Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C. in 2008. Withrow students and teachers put on two variety shows for many years: The Withrow Minstrels and the Sounds of Withrow. Artifacts from Withrow's nearly 90 year history are maintained in The Withrow Museum. Withrow grads have placed hundreds of testimonials on engraved bricks all around the entrance to the school. Encouraging quotations are carved into the buildings and tower at Withrow to motivate all who come there to succeed.
