Trion High School is a public high school located in Trion, Georgia, United States. While Trion is located in Chattooga County, the school is not part of the Chattooga County school system, but is an independent municipal school district.
The school was built in 1938 by L.C. "Sadd" Dalton.[3] Its original location was beside the Trion Recreation Department but due to a flood in 1990, a new school was built in 1996 at 919 Allgood Street.

Mascot and rival
Trion's mascot is the bulldog, and its colors are blue and white.
Feuds are often sparked with Chattooga High School, because of their stereotyped opinions of each other dating back to the 1940s. Trion and Chattooga no longer play against each other in football, for the most part, due to past riots and vandalizing by both schools. Recently they have played scrimmage games before the season begins. The biggest rival for the Bulldogs are the Trojans of Gordon Lee, which is the longest continuous rivalry in the state of Georgia.
School song
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up) (Ooh) Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up) We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry
