Troy Buchanan High School is located in Troy, Missouri and is in the Lincoln County R-III School District.
History: The school was named for Alexander Buchanan, who purchased the largest number of shares in the corporation established to build a college in Troy in 1893. The college property was sold to the Troy Village School District in 1929, under the proviso that the name "Buchanan" remain in the name of the school. Hence, "Buchanan College" became "Buchanan High School" and has so remained ever since.
Today the high school sits on land just off of Highway 61. The Troy high school was built with an emphasis on the sports department hence the main football field, 2 practice fields, 3 baseball diamonds, 3 soccer fields, and 6 tennis courts.
However, the Fine Arts department is much better known thanks to the regionally successful Trojan Pride Marching Band and world-famous TBHS Express and Soundwave Show Choirs. The choir concerts have more in attendence than the local auditorium has seats, resulting in multiple night preformances. The musicals put on by the Music and Drama departments sell out each night, and the attendence at football games drops after the half-time show because many of the attendees are marching band and colorguard parents. The sports program is not without its strong points, as both the girls and boys basketball teams are traditionally exceptional.
