Triway High School is a public high school in Wooster, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Triway Local School District. Their nickname is the Titans.

Background

Triway serves primarily the townships of Wooster, Franklin, and Clinton, and the village of Shreve in Wayne County, Ohio. These three areas agreed to consolidate in 1960 under the name of "Triway",^[2] and the school was opened at its current location in 1963. In the school district there are three K-6 elementary schools: Franklin Elementary which is now shut down and has been absorbed by the Wooster Township branch of the schools, Shreve Elementary, and Wooster Township Elementary. Triway Jr. High School serves grades 7-8, and Triway High School serves grades 9-12.

Triway's colors are purple and white, which were chosen by coach Marion Zody, who also named the sports teams the "Titans" after the New York Jets previous nickname.^[2] The Titans have long-standing rivalries with the Waynedale High School Golden Bears, the West Holmes High School Knights, and the Orrville High School Red Riders. Triway was a member of the Wayne County Athletic League from 1963-1970 (and previously as the Shreve High School Trojans) until joining the Chippewa Conference (1970-1976), then the All-Ohio Conference/League (1976-1989), and the Mohican Area Conference (1989-2004), before joining the PAC-7.
