Ajax High School (AHS) is located in Ajax, Ontario, Canada within the Durham District School Board. It is the largest secondary school in southern Ajax and the fourth-largest in all of Ajax. The school offers a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities. The school also offers a French Immersion program. Ajax High School was given a 5.5 rating in 2012/13 and ranked 478th out of 740 schools across Ontario. The school was opened in 1956 and has since undergone several large expansions. In the 1960s, a large section that today houses the main office, cafetorium, front entrance, courtyard, as well as several classrooms, was added. Later, in the early 2000s, a wing was added to the east side of the building. Many of these classrooms are now devoted to mathematics and science courses. In recent years, many students have expressed a desire to change the team mascot from the "Rams" to the "Battleships", in honour of the WWII vessel that the town was named after. In 2014, the school's entire senior Reach for the Top team graduated. Known affectionately as the "Nerd Team", they had made the regional finals earlier that year of Reach for the Top, placing fourth. Other accomplishments of this team included winning "Top Distance Traveled" at the Inside Ride, winning the school's famed "Fly on the Wall" competition (the last year in which these two events were held, due to administration changes/struggles), and placing well in the school's "March Madness" event, all in their graduating year.
