Thorold Secondary School
History
In 1857, a grammar school was established in the village of Thorold, but it was not until 18 years later, in 1875, that the land on which the present high school stands was purchased. The site, bound by Ormond, St. David and Carleton Streets, was purchased for $1856.77 from Dr. Rolls of Thorold, and the building was erected at a cost of $6000. In 1928, a seven-room and gymnasium addition was constructed, and the building was officially opened on the eve of the graduation ceremonies held on November 22, 1929. The 2011-2012 school year was a significant one for TSS, as it took part in a review of all secondary schools in southern St. Catharines and Thorold.
In 2012, District School Board of Niagara trustees voted on whether to close the school and decided to keep it open.
