History

Triton High School serves the communities of Coats, Erwin and Dunn. Ground was broken for Triton High School in October 1983. Those present were Superintendent R. A. Gray, Harnett County Commissioners, and the three student council presidents of the schools that would serve Triton and they were: Dunn, Erwin, and Coats High Schools. Construction took a little over two years due to weather related issues. The doors of Triton opened to students in October 1985, with Leonard Arnold as the first principal. The school was officially dedicated in April 1986. He remained principal until 1992 when he was elevated to the position of Human Resources Director of Harnett County Schools following the retirement of Jerry R. Ennis. Arnold was followed as principal by Dan Curtis Honeycutt, then William Brooks Matthews, Chip Mangum, and Ryan McNeill as Principal at this current writing.[2]

Our students come from many different backgrounds but come mostly from urban and agriculture families. A large percentage of Triton's parents fall into the category of skilled workers. Several of our major employers include: Food Lion Distribution Center, Wal-Mart, Godwin Manufacturing Company, Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital and the Harnett County Schools System.
