School history

Titusville Area High School was originally constructed[2] in 1931. It was financed and given to the community by Mary Colestock in honor of her husband. Subsequent additions took place in 1941, 1957, and 1965, at which time the junior high wing was added. More additions, along with a major renovation took place in 1979, at which time a 25-meter swimming pool was added. The junior high students moved from the school to a sole middle school building in 1999, after which, a major renovation took place to the entire structure including improvements for energy-efficiency and student safety.

Titusville High School has an active alumni association that was organized in 1996 and has an endowed scholarship fund that exceeds one million dollars. Ida Tarbell graduated from Titusville High School in 1896 and is one of its most famous graduates. Another well-known graduate was John Heisman who began his football career by playing on the high school team for three years before graduating in 1887.

gollark: They seem hard to construct incrementally, not ideal for random access, and FTS is hacked in by having the index stored as "articles" with a weird type code.
gollark: I still don't think they're that great for some of the intended uses.
gollark: I mean, the zim format works okay, but if I was doing it I would save time and just make it a layer over SQLite.
gollark: HTML nodes are *basically* just a```ruststruct Html { name: String, attributes: Map<String, String>, children: Vec<Html>}```so I think that could be pretty compact.
gollark: I don't think so, fair point. It could be done in a VFS, but æ.
