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]
Activites
The school has a strong National FFA Organization program.[10][2]
TBHS has two competitive show choirs, "Express" and "Soundwave".[11] The program hosts an annual competition.[12] Express has won national-level competitions before, and Soundwave swept the jayvee division in their 2019 season.[13][14]
