Triopia CUSD 27

Just a reminder when attending athletic events at Triopia - we are doing our best to create a fun and positive environment for our student athletes, whether on the field or on the court! Please keep your younger children in close proximity to you when at events. Students should NOT be on the playground, football equipment, on the baseball/softball fields or running through the hallways. We hope to have them on the sidelines and in the bleacher cheering for the Trojans! Let's create some TROJAN spirit all year long!

**There is a lot of construction going on with the playground and on the baseball/softball fields and we want everyone to stay safe! Thank you for your cooperation!

For the 2025-2026 school year, Triopia is pleased to spotlight its new staff members. Jon Tate is our new PE teacher! Mr. Tate graduated from Illinois College in 2025 with a Bachelor’s Degree with a double major in Education and Kinesiology. This is Mr. Tate’s first year of teaching! When asked about his favorite class to teach, he says he is lucky because he has a wide range of students, from grade school to high school! When not at work, Mr. Tate’s interests include watching sports, working out, and spending time with his family. When asked about his favorite thing at Triopia, he states that it’s the one-on-one connection he gets to make with all of his students. When asked to share one more thing, Mr. Tate said that he played baseball at IC! We are happy and proud to have Mr. Tate as part of our staff! #triopia

For the 2025-2026 school year, Triopia is pleased to spotlight its new staff members. Rebecca Miller is our new high school science teacher! Mrs. Miller graduated from Illinois State University in 2004 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and a minor in Spanish. She also received her Master’s Degree in Biology in 2006 as well. While in college, she did some of her undergraduate coursework in Madrid, Spain, and at the University of Oxford in England! While she is new to teaching in a high school setting, she taught Environmental Education and Outdoor Education programs for over ten years for the Missouri Department of Conversation. She also held a Teaching Fellowship at Illinois State where she developed school curriculum and taught biology lab sections for undergraduate students. When asked about her favorite class, she states that she obviously loves Biology, but is excited about all of her classes! She says that she loves learning and helping others get excited about the world around us. Outside of school, Mrs. Miller says that she enjoys reading, camping and backpacking, gardening, birdwatching and spending time with her family. She also says that her favorite thing about Triopia is the students! She says that she’s really enjoyed getting to know them and that she truly appreciates their positive attitude and willingness to learn. When asked to share one more thing, Mrs. Miller told us that last year she taught herself how to solve a Rubik’s cube. She said it was difficult at first, but it was something that she always wanted to be able to do! We are happy and proud to have Mrs. Miller as part of our staff! #triopia

High School Volleyball and Football start practice next week!

This week the renovation of the high school baseball and softball fields began. Thanks to a major donation from the Triopia Athletic Boosters, next spring there will be new, higher backstop netting for both the baseball field and softball field. We hope this will lead to safer viewing and less foul ball interruptions on the fields. There will also be significant concrete added around each field for safer walking, seating and aesthetics. We are thankful for all of those who contribute to our athletic boosters and to the volunteers who helped remove the old backstops! We will continue to provide updates as they come! #triopia
