Campuses
From 1998 to 2016 Toowoomba State High School consisted of two campuses, the Mount Lofty campus, and the Wilsonton campus. In 2017, they became two separate State High Schools. The incumbent Queensland Education Minister (Kate Jones) decided that as of Term 1, 2017 the two campuses would become two 'Band 10' schools.
A new $5 million hall was also announced for the Wilsonton Campus.
In August, 2016, a public survey was run in order to determine Wilsonton Campus' new name, uniform and sports logo for 2017. After the survey was run, it was decided that Wilsonton Campus would be renamed 'Wilsonton State High School'. The sports polo shirt would be black, purple and green with a white trim and the sports logo would be a Pegasus.
