Mascot and rival

The bulldog is the mascot for Trion High, and its school colors are blue and white. Feuds are often sparked with students and parents of students of 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 vandalizations by both schools. Recently in the past two years they have played scrimmage games before the season begins.

==School song==

We love thee, school of Trion
Among thy dear hills,
We love thee, school of Trion,
Our very hearts thrill.
To think of thy bounty
Poured out by God's hand,
On Trion, dear Trion,
Our own favored land.
Thy hilltops serene
Calls us out from all strife.
Thy woods and wildflowers
Add rapture to life.
Thy streams ever changing
Flow true to the sea.
And may we, thy children,
Live true unto thee.[4]
