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.

The school was partially integrated in 1966, and fully integrated in 1967 with African-American students coming from the previously all-black school, the Andrew J. Gibson High School.<ref>{{Cite news | first=Kimberly C. | last=Moore | title=Mims woman keeps Moores' legacy alive | url=http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20100118/NEWS01/1180311/1006/news01/Woman%20%2060%20%20perpetuates%20legacy%20of%20civil%20rights%20leaders| work=Florida Today | location=Melbourne, Florida | page= 1A | date=18 January 2010 }}</ref>
