The Trion Bulldogs enter the 2026 high school football season looking to turn a year of growing pains into a return to the winning tradition that has long surrounded the program.
Supporters of the Pride of Trion Marching Band have an opportunity to show their Trion pride with the band’s official 2026 show shirts, now available for presale.
The Pride of Trion Marching Band announced that orders are currently being accepted for this year’s show shirts, with an order deadline of August 28.
Band supporters are encouraged to place their orders before the deadline, as organizers say they cannot guarantee that additional shirts will be available once the ordering window closes.
All orders must be placed through the Trion High School Band Boosters website. The shirts feature artwork celebrating the Pride of Trion’s 2026 marching season and show.
The annual show shirts give students, parents, alumni and other supporters a way to represent the Pride of Trion throughout marching season while supporting the band program.
Those interested in purchasing a shirt should place their order online no later than Friday, August 28.

Trion High School is reminding students that locker and parking permit purchases will take place on Friday, July 24, at the back entrance of Trion High School.
Students must purchase lockers and parking permits during their assigned class time:
- Seniors: 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
- Juniors: 9:30 to 11 a.m.
- Sophomores: 11 a.m. to noon
- Freshmen: 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
The cost is $25 for a locker and $30 for a parking permit.
School officials say students who have not completed and submitted their enrollment paperwork or tuition requirements will not be able to make purchases until those requirements have been met.
Because the enrollment deadline has passed and PowerSchool is temporarily offline for maintenance, parents needing to complete enrollment must fill out a paper enrollment form, which is available in the Trion High School office.
Students are also reminded to wait until their designated time slot before arriving to make purchases.
Trion High School students participating in the Work-Based Learning program and their parents are reminded to attend a mandatory informational meeting later this month.

Students enrolled in the program are also required to be on campus all day Thursday and Friday, July 30-31. School officials encourage students to notify their workplace supervisors of that requirement as soon as possible.
Anyone with questions is encouraged to contact Megan Mills at megan.mills@trionschools.org.
