The first public school in the city of Titusville was built on Main Street in 1888 and was destroyed by fire in 1895. The Titusville School was rebuilt on Washington Avenue at the site where Titusville City hall is located today. Eventually named Bay View School, it continued to serve all grade levels until 1927 and was finally demolished in 1972. Horse-drawn school buses transported students from Indian River City and Mims.
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.
Currently, none of the original structure remains. In its place is a large campus comprised of a number of buildings including 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.
