Macomber High School (Toledo, Ohio)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Irving E. Macomber Vocational Technical High School was a vocational public high school in Toledo, Ohio, USA, from 1938 to June 1991. It served the entire city and was part of the Toledo Public School District. In 1967 the school became joint-operational with Whitney High School, an all-girls vocational school located just across 16th St., and the two buildings came to be known as Macomber-Whitney. The building still sits on Monroe Street, just north of Fifth Third Field.

The Macomber Macmen were members of the Toledo City League and donned the colors of black and gold. Their main rivals were the Scott Bulldogs, which was especially heated in their basketball match-ups. The most famous Macomber basketball player is Jimmy Jackson, who played on the 1989 State Championship team.

Due to a declining enrollment and low finances, Macomber and Whitney were closed along with DeVilbiss High School by TPS at the end of the 1990-1991 school year.
