Thorold Secondary School, often abbreviated as TSS, is a public secondary school in Thorold, Ontario, Canada.[1] [2] The school was named after Sir John Thorold, a member of the British Parliament for Lincolnshire, England. It is the only high school in the city.[3]
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.[4]
In 2012, District School Board of Niagara trustees voted on whether to close the school and decided to keep it open.[3]
