Waite High School is a public high school located in east Toledo, Ohio that was built in 1914. It is part of the Toledo Public Schools. It is named after Morrison R. Waite, a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. His most famous case was the Alabama Claims case.
Waite is a member of the Toledo City League. Their nickname is the Indians and their colors are purple,and gold. However, the Indian nickname is not for Native Americans. When the school was first opened the Toledo Fire Department had an annual competition that involved running and pulling the fire truck. The team from the East Side was called the Indians. Someone thought it would be a good idea to name the school's athletic teams after the Fire Department team. Waite is famous for their storied football stadium, Jack Mollenkopf Stadium. The Indians have a rivalry with fellow East Toledo City League rival Clay. They had a rivalry from 1914 thru 1968 with Scott High School that was played every Thanksgiving morning.
Waite was a national high school football power in the 1920's, traveling as far as California. They were acclaimed to be a national high school football champion in 1927. In 1927, they played away games on successive Fridays in Portland Oregon and Portland Maine. Travel was by train.
