Triton Senior High School
Triton High School, located in Dodge Center, Minnesota, was established in 1990 when the communities of Dodge Center, West Concord and Claremont, combined to create one high school and junior high school. Each town continued to operate separate elementary schools. The newly-created high school was housed in the former Dodge Center High School building and the junior high school was housed in the former West Concord High School building. Former Dodgers, Cardinals and Parrots, the first Triton Cobra seniors, graduated in 1991.
Triton's mascot is the Cobra and colors are maroon and gray. Triton's school song is I'm a Jayhawk, official rouser of the University of Kansas.
A bond referendum was passed in 1996 to build an addition to the high school building in Dodge Center, adding Triton Primary School and additional high school space, which opened in the fall of 1998. Later, Triton relocated its junior high (middle school) from West Concord to Dodge Center and officially opened in the fall of 2009. Additional space was added and renovations were made in 2012 as the Triton community continued to grow.

Famous quotes containing the words triton, senior, high and/or school:
“I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Never burn bridges. Today’s junior prick, tomorrow’s senior partner.”

“After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
