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]
