Toronto Junior-Senior High School is a public high school in Toronto, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the Toronto City School District. Toronto is a member of the both the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference and the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference.

Toronto High School had the only successful bond levy of its type to be passed in 2010 in the State of Ohio to construct a new facility which will house grades six through twelve. The structure is on the district's campus on Dennis Way, in Toronto, Ohio next to the current Karaffa Elementary School.

History

The first graduating class of Toronto High School was in 1889 with four students. In 1898 the first superintendent of schools, Mr. Abram Grove, organized what is known today as the Toronto Public School System. In 1905, Toronto High School was granted a charter as a First Grade High School and in 1918, the school was given membership in the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The current high school building was erected in 1926, and the latest addition, which provided for the library, cafeteria, the George J. Kunzler Memorial Gymnasium, and additional classrooms was dedicated in April 1940.

Presently, Toronto Junior-Senior High School holds grades 6-12 in a combined facility (opened September 2013) next to Karaffa Elementary School.
