“Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto eternal life, and few there be that find it.” During the sermon on the mount, Jesus told the crowd how to get to heaven. Most people want to go to heaven - they plan on it - but many don't want to follow the path to get there.

Titusville High School is part of the Brevard Public Schools System. It is located at 150 Terrier Trail South, Titusville, Florida.
History
In 1927, Titusville High School was founded at the current location, the first building devoted solely to high school classes in the city. The Spanish-style structure featured terrazzo floors, brick halls, an auditorium, cafeteria, a large second-floor library, and one-story wings housing industrial arts and home economics departments. Over the entrance was a bell tower, which was reproduced in smaller form as a monument when the building was demolished in 1972.
None of the original structure remains. In its place is a campus containing the two story Dorothy S. Wise Instructional Building; the Science, Art, and Health Occupations Building; Fine and Performing Arts Buildings; Cafeteria, Gym, Media Center and Administrative offices.
A new football stadium was completed in mid 2007. Two buildings were constructed in 2008: An Administrative/Science/Freshman Center and a Performing Arts building.
Scheduling
Titusville High is block scheduled. Students take four classes per semester rather than six per year, as with other types of scheduling. Each class lasts for an hour and a half, instead of the forty-five minutes. This system allows students to earn more credits and focus on a smaller number of classes than in a traditional system. Also, it allows students to take an extra credit in the same amount of time. (See Brevard Public Schools#Class Ranking and GPA for notes on how block scheduling relates to class ranking.)
The Performing Arts program has received state recognition, due in part to the extended period.
The school received an 'A' letter grade from the State, for the 2006-07 school year, up from a 'C'; largely due to an improvement in FCAT scores.
