Charles Henderson High School is a grades 9-12 high school located in the city of Troy, Alabama. The namesake of the school, Charles Henderson, was the governor of the state of Alabama from 1915-1919. After his death in 1937, Henderson left some of his considerable estate to family members, but most of his money was used to establish a perpetual trust to fund education and healthcare in Troy. The fund was to be used for the construction of new schools and to start a charity hospital for children in Troy. Money from Henderson’s trust has been used to fund Charles Henderson High School, Charles Henderson Middle School, and The Charles Henderson Child Health Care Center.
The school's football team is in the 5A division of the AHSAA and participates in Region 2 (Southeast Alabama). As of November 2014, the team's state ranking is 78 and their national ranking is 2321.
In 2014, a student died two days after playing in a football game.
The baseball team is in the 5-A classification. The Trojans home field is Frazier Field at Hogan's Hole. There is a blue wall in left field that is similar to the "Green Monster" at Fenway Park. In recent years, CHHS has won the Class 5A, Area 3 title in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. The Trojans moved to 4A for 2013 and 2014, where they won both Area titles and State titles.
The CHHS Trojans have been ranked in every 5A Alabama High School Athletic Association Top 10 ranking for six consecutive years, from 2007 through 2012, and achieved the school's first No. 1 ranking in 2010.
In 2004, the Trojans won the 5A State Championship by defeating Cullman High School in best-of-three series. The team finished the season with final record of 34-11. The 2004 championship was dedicated to the late Terry Sikes, a former player for the Trojans in the late 1970s and early 1980s who coached the CHHS junior varsity baseball team. CHHS hosts the Terry Sikes Memorial Tournament every spring.
