Triad High School is a high school located in Troy, Illinois. Triad serves the communities of Troy, St. Jacob, and Marine, Illinois, as well as small portions of Collinsville, Maryville, Glen Carbon, and Highland. The school district has a total area of 121.5 square miles (315 km2). The majority of Triad High School students live in Troy, Illinois, which is a suburb 18 miles (29 km) northeast of St. Louis, Missouri.
When the Triad district was formed, a contest was held to decide a name for the school which would serve to the communities. Students in the district had gone to St. Jacob High School, Marine High School, and McCray-Dewey High School of Troy. All three high schools closed down upon the formation of the Triad school district. Vincent Kauhl, a student of McCray-Dewey, submitted the winning entry of "Triad."
Triad High School was originally located in St. Jacob, Illinois from the 1959–60 school year through the 1998–99 school year. Since the school year of 1999–2000, the Triad High School campus has been located in Troy, Illinois. The St. Jacob campus now serves as Triad Middle School, which serves the sixth through eighth grades as a feed-in school to Triad High School.
The Triad High School athletics teams originally competed in the defunct Midwestern Conference before moving to the South Central Conference. In the 1993–94 school year, Triad moved to the Mississippi Valley Conference (MVC) due to enrollment growth, replacing O'Fallon Township High School. The MVC currently consists of six schools: Bethalto's Civic Memorial High School, Highland High School, Jerseyville's Jersey Community High School, Mascoutah Community High School, Troy's Triad High School, and Waterloo High School. Triad's colors are red, black, and white and their mascot is the Knights. Triad has the following sports programs:
