Troy High School

What Troy High School does

Troy High School is a public high school serving 2,098 students in grades 9-12 at 4777 Northfield Parkway, Troy, Michigan. Founded in 1992 and operating as part of the Troy School District (a government entity governed by the TSD Board of Education), the school delivers a comprehensive college-preparatory education under Principal Remo Roncone and Superintendent Dr. Rich Machesky. The academic core is supplemented by an unusually broad dual enrollment program spanning six Michigan-area universities (Michigan State, Lawrence Tech, University of Michigan, University of Rochester, Oakland University, Oakland Community College), a Career Accelerator Program, athletics with 30+ sports, and 60+ student clubs and organizations. The school has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, NICHE, and as a National Blue Ribbon school, and is ranked #3 Best School District in Michigan with an A+ Overall District Grade.

The school's technology stack is built entirely on third-party EdTech platforms: PowerSchool (Student Information System for grades, attendance, schedules, report cards), Schoology (Learning Management System for coursework, assignments, calibration), Destiny (library catalog), Xello (Educational Development Plans and career exploration), Parchment (transcript delivery), FinalForms (athletics registration), SchoolPay and MySchoolBucks (fee and meal payments), GoFan (athletic ticketing), and Sora/Libby/Hoopla (digital content via Troy Public Library). No proprietary software or AI/ML capabilities are developed in-house. The school maintains an 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio with 182 teaching and support staff, and requires 22.5 credits for graduation.

Troy High School's revenue model is fundamentally non-commercial: core operations are funded through the Troy School District's public education budget (state funding, local property taxes, federal grants). Ancillary revenue is generated through Pay-to-Participate athletic fees ($200 per sport, $600/household max, with Free/Reduced Lunch waivers), parking permits ($50/year), yearbook sales ($80-$95 with tiered pricing), and athletic passes ($60 student, $80-$120 adult). Food services are contracted to Chartwells (Compass Group) and provided at no cost to families per state budget, with a la carte items available for purchase. The school is not a capital-raising entity, has no funding rounds, and has no private ownership or venture capital involvement.
