Troy Junior/Senior High School is a grade 7-12 Public School located in Troy, Idaho.

History

Early maps, prior to 1890, shows a school located in the town of Vollmer, which later was renamed to Troy.[1] Between 1891 and 1906, 15 school districts were formed in Troy and the surrounding communities. Each of these individual districts included a one-room schoolhouse offering students education from first to eighth grade. If a student was to continue into high school, they would attend the high school in Troy.[8] Due to a growing student population, a new school was built in Troy in 1893, called the Pioneer School, and had 100 students and three teachers that first year. In 1906, a new larger multi-story brick school building was built and opened after voters approved a $12,000 (equivalent to $294,094 in 2024) bond to pay for the construction. Again in 1922, the number of students outgrew the building and additions were made, including a gymnasium and auditorium. The elementary grades were moved in 1939 to a new brick school constructed, with funds from the Public Works Administration, increasing the school's capacity.[1] Following World War II, rural populations began to decline and the surrounded school districts began to merge. As the junior/senior high school building reached and exceed its ability to remain safe, the original 1906 building was replaced with a new junior-senior high school which was built and completed in time for the 2003 - 2004 school year.[9][10]

Troy Trojans compete in the 2A division, the second-smallest division in the Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA). They participate in the District II Whitepine League.[6] While not the oldest rivalry, their main rival is Genesee High School, also located in Latah County and 21 miles (34 km) south, and goes back to 1966 (1966).[7][11]
