Coffee High School is a public high school located in Douglas, Georgia, United States. The school mascot is the Trojan.
In 2001, the school concluded a divisive search for a new football coach which ended in the return of Bonwell Royal. Royal retired in 2005, and the state legislature passed House Resolution 306 to commend him for his 34-year career, 26 of which were with Coffee High School. Specifically mentioned in the resolution was the 2002 Region 1-AAAAA Championship.
In 2006, after an extensive playoff drought, the Trojan football team, led by second year Head Coach Jerry Odom, earned an 8-2 record, qualifying for the state playoffs. They lost in the second round to Stephenson High School.
In 2007, the Trojans returned to the playoffs with an 8-2 record. They once again lost in the second round.
In 2008, under new Head Coach Ken Eldridge, the Trojans finished with a 7-3 record, barely qualifying for the ptate Playoffs. In the first round of the Playoffs, they traveled to Stone Mountain to play Stephenson High School, the team responsible for knocking the Trojans out of the playoffs in 2006. This time, the Trojans were victorious, winning in overtime. They went on to lose in the third round, surpassing their achievements in the past two years.
Named in honor of Dan A. Jardine, Jardine Stadium is the home of the Coffee High Trojans. Jardine Stadium was renovated in 2009 to include a new home seating section, ticket booths, renovated restrooms and concessions, and additional end-zone seating for the Coffee High Trojan Marching Band.
