Spencer-Sharples High School
Spencer-Sharples High School operated independently from 1958 to December 31, 1967, and then as part of the Toledo Public Schools system from January 1, 1968 until 1980 when the school was closed and the student body was sent to Bowsher and Rogers high schools in Toledo. Residents of the area were mostly resistant to having their identity wiped out and having to bus their children into Toledo. Their athletic teams were called the "Falcons" and they competed as an independent. The building still stands at the intersection of Irwin and Angola roads in western Lucas County.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“We want our children to become warm, decent human beings who reach out generously to those in need. We hope they find values and ideals to give their lives purpose so they contribute to the world and make it a better place because they have lived in it. Intelligence, success, and high achievement are worthy goals, but they mean nothing if our children are not basically kind and loving people.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
