The history of Stark County High School is also the history of its preceding component schools:
The origins of the Toulon High School system dates to 1847 when a public educational program was established. Various locations around Toulon have served as the school between 1847 and 1875. In 1874, a new school building was constructed and opened in February, 1875 which housed both the elementary and high schools of Toulon until 1912.
The Toulon Academy was organized in 1883 which offered college preparatory classes beyond the high school courses. In 1884, the Academy and Toulon High School merged, but separated again 1 year later. In 1896, the Academy Association purchased 6.67 acres (27,000 m2) of land at Prairie Avenue and Franklin Street for the purpose of constructing a new Academy building and sports facilities for football and track. This structure opened in February, 1897 and continued as the Academy until 1912, when the Academy permanently closed.
