Troup County High School history

In 1955 high school students from Center, Gray Hill, Hillcrest, Mountville, Tatum, and Rosemont schools were combined to form Troup High School, with R. Clayton Bowers as principal and a staff of 27 teachers.

Construction of the building, located on the south side of LaGrange, was completed in January, 1956, and students and teachers moved into the new building during the latter part of the month.

In 1981, discussion began on the consolidation of high schools in three systems in the county - Hogansville, West Point, and Troup County.

Planning for a new comprehensive high school was with opening set for the 1986-87 school year.

Communities in Schools of Georgia in Troup County was founded in 1989 as Cities in Schools of LaGrange, at a time when the LaGrange School system was an independent organization, separate from the Troup County, Hogansville and West Point systems.

The name was changed to Communities in Schools of Troup County in 1993, coinciding with the consolidation of all Troup County school systems and the change of CIS from “cities” to “communities”, in recognition of increased presence in smaller areas.

The next change for Troup High came with the consolidation of schools in LaGrange City and Hogansville into Troup County Schools in 1995.

In 2003, the new Fine Arts Auditorium was completed, providing stat-of-the-art theater facilities with seating for over 750 patrons.

Since 2004, our students have consistently placed above grade level on achievement, SAT and ACT tests.
