Kingsville District High School is a public high school in Kingsville, Ontario, Canada. Enrollment is 656 students.[1] KDHS feeder schools are Harrow Public School, Kingsville Public School and Jack Miner Public School. The school is the "Home of the Cavaliers".[2][3]
The school opened in 1921 at its present location after a fire destroyed Essex District High School. There were then three teachers and about 100 students.[4]
In 1953, a new building was erected on the site, with additions in 1954, 1963, 1967 and 1972.[4]
In 2016 Harrow District High School closed and merged with Kingsville District High School.
In June 2016, Kingsville District High School students held a Pride flag raising ceremony to recognize June as LGBT Pride Month. The school was one of the first in the district to raise a pride flag.[5]
