Posted on Friday, September 23, 2022 at 9:21 p.m
Troy City Schools hosted the Trojan Expo Tuesday night and showcased all the schools: Troy Elementary, Charles Henderson Middle School and Charles Henderson High School and all the opportunities available at Troy City Schools and the Troy-Pike Center for Technology.
“Tonight was a great night to be a Trojan,” said Dr. Joanna Taylor. We shared a meal, listened to our bands play, enjoyed a children’s area with hula hoops, bounce houses and face painting. We connected students with college, community college and military opportunities. We learned more about the exciting work our Art, T3, Robotics, CTE and School clubs are doing.
Taylor said the students learned a new way to engage with reading, math, science and history. Students also found new ways to connect with our community.

friendship A big ‘thank you’ to the many who contributed to a very fun evening with our Trojan family.”
Kristy Drinkwater, parent and community engagement services, echoed Taylor’s enthusiasm surrounding the Trojan Expo and echoed her appreciation for everyone who made the expo a success.
“The Trojan Expo was a great way to showcase the different facets of Troy City Schools,” said Drinkwater. “There were academics in one building and there were opportunities to visit the different classrooms and see what the students are doing in the different academic areas.”
Drinkwater said, for example, that parents of elementary students are often surprised to see what is being done in middle and high school academic areas.
The Trojan Expo was Troy City School’s umbrella experience.
“The Expo showcased all the amazing things the system has to offer in one place at once,” Drinkwater said. “Robotics, the T3 initiative. The STEM program that focuses on science, technology, engineering and math where it’s all on display.”
The Trojan Expo also features opportunities available to students at the Troy-Pike Center for Technology and Enterprise State Community College, where students can earn an associate’s degree in high school.
The Expo provided opportunities to meet with representatives from different colleges and the military.
The Expo showcased arts programs, the award-winning Cultural Arts Academy, and school clubs and organizations.
Community organizations were on hand to inform students about service opportunities and the club’s involvement with schools and communities.
The Trojan Expo was well worth the time and effort of planning and making it happen, Taylor and Drinkwater said. The Expo was beneficial for students, parents, teachers and the community. It was so worth it dong.
