There are 3 buildings on campus, each having a designated purpose. A Building, the main structure, is comprised of three floors and multiple wings. It houses the bulk of classes and meeting spaces for the school, including the cafeteria, commons, auditorium, and gymnasiums.
|
B Building is a single story, single wing structure that houses our Industrial and Technical Trades studios and classrooms. Building C is the home of our magnet and sister school, Communications Arts.

Designed for a student population of about 2,500 students, Taft has consistently enjoyed a burgeoning student population, at times over 3,500 students. New schools are under construction to address the rapid growth in this area. |

Taft High School was named after William Howard Taft, President of the United States from 1908-1912, Supreme Court Justice and Professor of Law at Yale University. He is well known for his administration of the Supreme Court and is widely credited with its reformation. (For more information, please see our Student-Parent Handbook.)

To Taft, our Alma Mater
We raise our voices strong
Pride in the white and crimson
Forever we'll belong
Within your hallowed halls
Our dreams and goals held fast
Within hearts and minds forever true
To William Howard Taft.
