History of Toledo Public Schools

(collected from the Woodward Technical High School yearbook 1927-28)

In 1853, the first Toledo high school was built on the block surrounded by Adams, Madison, Michigan, and 10th streets (currently occupied by the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library). The building was finished in 1857 and the first class graduated from Central High School in 1858.

In 1872, Jesup W. Scott selected a body of trustees to establish a "University of Arts and Trades" for the city of Toledo. A donation of $15,000 by trustee William H. Raymond in 1873, followed by a donation of $50,000 by Scott's family following his death on January 22, 1874 helped set up a school of design in the original high school by January 1875.

Unable to carry out the wishes of donors, the trustees tendered the property to the city of Toledo in January 1884. The Scott Manual Training School was opened and had the distinction of being one of the first such schools to offer courses in Domestic Science. The building was destroyed by a fire in March 1885, but was rebuilt as a much larger structure in 1886 with sixty-one rooms and an auditorium that was larger than the original building.

Until 1913, this was the city's only high school building except for a few years where the first two years of high school were offered at East Side Central. Students were eventually transferred over to Jesup W. Scott High School in 1913 and Morrison R. Waite High School in 1914.

In January 1912 the Elementary Industrial School was established within the Central building with an emphasis on mechanical drawing and woodwork. When the remaining high school students left for Waite, the industrial school sought a new name. The new school was named Woodward Junior High School for Calvin M. Woodward, an advocate of manual training. When the school added four-year classes, it became Woodward Technical High School.

In 1927, Vocational High School was established in the Woodward Tech building as well. Woodward Tech would move into a new building on Streicher Street in 1928 and become Calvin M. Woodward High School. Vocational High School remained in the old building until 1938 when it moved into a new location on Monroe Street and became Irving E. Macomber Vocational High School.

With four high schools established by 1923 (Scott in the west end, Waite in the east side, Woodward Tech near the north, and Central Catholic near downtown), a suitable high school was necessary for the south end. Edward Drummond Libbey High School was built and named for the Libbey Glass founder and Toledo Art Museum creator who gave money for the school's property on Western Avenue. In 1931, another high school was also built in the quickly-expanding west end and named for local industrialist Thomas A. DeVilbiss. Harriet Whitney Vocational High School was also established in 1939 as a girls' trade school, and it would eventually become joint-operational with Macomber in 1959.

As Toledo continued to grow, so did its school district. Two more high schools were opened in 1962: one named for former TPS superintendent E. L. Bowsher that was to ease crowding at Libbey, and one named for former Toledo mayor Roy C. Start in order to ease crowding at DeVilbiss. When Toledo fully annexed Adams Township in 1964, TPS also acquired Robert S. Rogers High School into its system in 1966. In January 1968, the Ohio General Assembly allowed TPS to annex Spencer-Sharples School District despite it not being geographically connected to the rest of the district. In 1970, the Jefferson Center was set up in the old downtown post office as an alternative high school for students with behavioral issues.

Shortly after its great rise, enrollment numbers began to drop across the district as Toledo's population started to fall. Spencer-Sharples High School was closed in 1980. Macomber and the Jefferson Center were threatened with closure in 1989, but it wasn't until a levy failed during the 1990-91 school year when DeVilbiss and Macomber high schools were closed. Many of Macomber's trade classes were sent to other high schools while the Toledo Technology Academy was opened in DeVilbiss. The Jefferson Center was shut down in 2000, and Libbey was also closed in 2010.

TPS was able to rebuild, renovate, and reorganize many of its school buildings in the early years of the 21st century with help from the State of Ohio. Many neighborhood grade schools were lost, but the school communities were given state-of-the-art facilities.
