After-school programs
In addition to a number of intramural activities, the school offers a wide variety of clubs and after-school activities. These are financed by the Southborough Department of Recreation, the SOS program, and the school's own budget. The programs are led by teachers who offer to take part in the activities after a student requests either the formation of an activity, or the "rebirth" of a program that is currently inactive. The after-school programs range from enhancing a student's skill in academics, to learning how to be the school mascot (the Trottier Ram). Flag football, fishing, student government, yearbook, mural club, and intramural basketball are offered at Trottier. Trottier competes competitively in coeducational sports such as basketball, cross country, and track and field. Trottier also has a baseball and softball team
Drama and music
The drama program puts on a winter play and a spring musical every year. Past plays include 2014's "Once on This Island" and "Alice in Wonderland."
Trottier also funds a band, chorus, and orchestra program for any students who sign up. The two jazz bands and the select chorus rehearse before school while concert band, orchestra, and regular chorus rehearse during school hours. The music classes are graded as a special period and all members of the groups also attend a weekly class within their instrumental section.
