Everything about Titusville High School totally explained
Titusville High School is part of the
Brevard Public Schools System. It is located at 150 Terrier Trail South,
Titusville, Florida.
History
In 1927, Titusville High School was founded at the current location, the first building devoted solely to high school classes in the city. The Spanish-style structure featured terrazzo floors, brick halls, an auditorium, cafeteria, a large second-floor library, and one-story wings housing industrial arts and home economics departments. Over the entrance was a bell tower, which was reproduced in smaller form as a monument when the building was demolished in 1972.
None of the original structure remains. In its place is a campus comprised of the two story Dorothy S. Wise Instructional Building; the Science, Art, and Health Occupations Building; Fine and Performing Arts Buildings; Cafeteria, Gym, Media Center and Administrative offices.
A new football stadium was completed in mid 2007. Two new buildings are under construction. One is going to be an Administrative/Science/Freshman Center building (two stories); the other, a Performing Arts building. These are expected to be finished in the 07-08 school year.
Scheduling
Titusville High is block scheduled, meaning that students take four classes per semester rather than six per year, as with most Florida public high schools. Each class lasts for an hour and a half, instead of the usual forty-five minutes. This system allows students to earn more credits and focus on a smaller number of classes than in a traditional system. The Performing Arts program has received state recognition, due in part to the extended period.
See
Brevard Public Schools#Class Ranking and GPA for notes on how block scheduling relates to class ranking.
Block scheduling can allow students to take an extra credit in the same amount of time. The school received an 'A' letter grade from the State, for the 2006-07 school year, up from a 'C'; largely due to an improvement in FCAT scores.
