Overview

In 1969, Tolland High School (THS) opened as the first all electric high school in the state of Connecticut. In its first year, there were only 3 grades: 9th, 10th, and 11th.

In 2002, the Tolland Board of Education recommended the construction of a new building for THS. Voters approved the $56.6 million construction in June 2003 with a vote of 2,302 to 2,083. In 2006, THS moved to a new building on the same road. Improvements over the old building included a larger auditorium, new furniture, new sports fields, and a technology wing. [1]

According to USNews, there are 828 enrolled as of April 2017, resulting in a Student:Teacher Ratio of 14:1. Tolland High School has a graduation rate of 98%[2]
