Taft is a GRAD Cincinnati school, which helps students focus on the goal of going to college.

This program awards college scholarships to students who fulfill requirements.

Taft Stadium was completed in 1986 for the school's football program, replacing a makeshift, hole-ridden practice field.

Cincinnati Public Schools built a new Willard Stargel Stadium across the street from Taft in 2019.

The 2019 football season opening game was held at the new stadium on August 28 before the official dedication on September 13.
