History :

Toledo School, District #24, was located at the Cumberland County Seat, approximately in the center of the county.

In the beginning, which was around 1861, students occupied a two-story frame building located in the middle of the block south of today's Neal Tire Service. In 1881 there were four classrooms built on the original two. In 1924 the gymnasium was built. Prior to that time, the PE and sports classes had been using other buildings around town. Later, a building behind the school was built which they called the "Sheep Shed." This was used by the 7th and 8th grades, taught by Bert Birdzell. Next was the cafeteria and two classrooms above it, which made a very nice school with the elementary grades downstairs and the high school upstairs.

The first graduation to be held in Toledo was 1890. Those who graduated were Mary Shull, Ura Chapman, Bertha Hanker, Nora Bloomfield, and Ivy Connor. They had only one teacher.

In 1906 Professor McCabe and his pupils gave a performance of "The Corner Store." Admission to the four act comedy/drama was 20 cents. This play was a benefit for the school for the purpose of buying a new piano.

After consolidation the high school students went to Cumberland High and the elementary students continued in Toledo until the new grade school building was completed in 1967.
