Irving E. Macomber Vocational Technical High School was a vocational public high school in Toledo, Ohio, United States, from 1938[1] to June 1991. It was named for the man who helped develop the city's schools and parks, and who used to live on the property the school was built on.[1] Macomber served the entire city and was part of the Toledo Public School District. The school began as Vocational High School in the original Toledo high school in 1927[2] before moving to its location on Monroe Street in 1938.[3] In 1959, the school became joint-operational with Whitney High School, an all-girls vocational school located just across 16th St., and the two buildings came to be known as Macomber-Whitney.[4] The building still sits on Monroe Street, just northwest of Fifth Third Field.
