Troy Buchanan High School (formerly Buchanan High School) is a public high school in Troy, Missouri, United States that is part of the Lincoln County School District.

History[]

After Buchanan College sold their property in Troy to the local school district in 1905, Buchanan High School was founded in fall 1914.[2] A 1916 referendum proposed to build a gymnasium on to the existing school building.[3] That location was used until 1956, when classes were moved to a new location.[2]

In 1996, a new building was constructed at a cost of $13 million.[4] Work on a ninth-grade center began in 2007.[5]

Academics[]

Advanced Placement classes are offered as part of a Latin honors program.[6]

Athletics[]

TBHS athletic teams are nicknamed the Trojans; they are members of the Gateway Athletic Conference and compete in the South Division.[7] A new athletic compound was opened in fall 2000.[8] The softball team won state championships in 2011 and 2016.[9]

Activities[]

The school has a strong National FFA Organization program.[10][2] For example it was named the Model of Innovations for Student Devolopment in 2015.[11] And was the Premiere Chapter for Building Communities in 2019.[12]Additionally, In 2020 the Chapter was a National Finalist for the Model of Excellence Award.[13] The Troy FFA has also found success in CDE/LDEs (Career/Leadership Development Events). Most recently the Troy FFA won 4th Place in the Nation in the National FFA Parliamentary Procedure Competition.

TBHS has two competitive show choirs, "Express" and "Soundwave".[14] The program hosts an annual competition.[15] Express has won national-level competitions before, and Soundwave swept the jayvee division in their 2019 season.[16][17]
