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. 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. 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 $ in ) 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. 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.
