Titusville Area High School is a public high school in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The school serves about 660 students in grades 9-12. The main feeder school is Titusville Middle School.

Titusville Area High School was originally constructed^[2] in 1931. It was financed and given to the community by Mary Colestock in honor of her husband. Subsequent additions took place in 1941, 1957, and 1965, at which time the junior high wing was added. More additions, along with a major renovation took place in 1979, at which time a 25-meter swimming pool was added. The junior high students moved from the school to a sole middle school building in 1999, after which, a major renovation took place to the entire structure including improvements for energy-efficiency and student safety.
