Greetings, USD 429 Troy Schools Families:

Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and school community. We are excited to share some information with you about a recently approved opportunity for our district to temporarily expand and enhance our supply of available substitute teachers.

Due to the recent and unprecedented shortage of substitute teachers available to schools across Kansas, our Kansas State Board of Education recently approved an opportunity for individuals to temporarily qualify for an emergency substitute license from now through December 31, 2022.

An individual may temporarily qualify for an emergency substitute license with the following criteria:

1. High school diploma

2. Completion of Greenbush’s Emergency Substitute Training Modules (training may be completed now prior to application)

3. Verification of hire from a local education agency (LEA) / school district

4. Application and $60 processing fee

5. Fingerprint background check and fee. Individuals who previously received a TEAL substitute license are not required to re-submit fingerprints

6. Individuals may serve no more than 15 consecutive days in the same assignment

Please know that our goals in considering and utilizing this temporary opportunity as a district will continue to prioritize student and educator safety and continuing to do everything we possibly can to not disrupt continuous student learning. We are confident that this opportunity and process will help us and benefit students, and we are excited to work with more people who are interested in serving in this role.

If you have any questions or if you are interested in knowing more about how to serve as a substitute teacher through this Emergency Substitute License opportunity, please contact Janel Anderson directly at janderson@troyusd.org or 785-985-3950.

Thank you for your time,

Patrick McKernan, 

Superintendent of Schools

Congratulations Ladies! You make us PROUD!!

The Lady Trojan Softball Team made Trojan History this past week when they placed 2^nd at the 2-1A State Softball Tournament.  The Ladies finish their magical season 23-1.  The Trojan Softball team placing the highest in State that any girls team in any sport has for the Trojans. 

The Lady Trojans would face a tough Mission Valley team that put them out the previous season during Regionals to keep them from a state appearance last season.  The Trojans fell behind early and couldn’t come back in the 6-4 loss to Mission Valley on Friday, May 27^th.  Mission Valley took the lead on a passed ball in the second inning.  The ladies lost despite out-hitting the Vikings ten to six. 

Troy put up three runs in the fifth inning.  The Trojans offense in that inning were led by Reagen Hill, Avery Euler, and Emerson Weber, all driving in runs in the inning. 

Paityn Engemann would get her first loss of the season.  The pitcher up for 2-1A Player of the Year would allow six hits and six runs over seven innings, striking out seven while Mission Valley pitcher only struck out 5.  Engemann would also tally a home run in the championship game in the fourth inning. 

The Trojans tallied ten hits. Weber, Euler, and Engemann all managed multiple hits for the Trojans.  Engemann, Euler and Weber all had two. 

The Lady Trojans would defeat Richmond-Central Heights 3-2 earlier in the day to go to their first ever girls State Championship Game.  The Trojans would win that game with a walk-off double.  The game was tied at two with the Trojans batting in the bottom of the eighth inning when Senior Paige Hinds doubled on a 1-1 count, scoring Reagan Hill.

The pitching was strong.  Paityn Engemann struck out nine.  Engemann earned the victory in the circle.  She went eight innings, allowing only two runs on four hits, and only one walk. 

Hinds led the Trojans with two hits and four at bats. 

On Thursday, May 26^th the Trojans, the number #2 seed, would win 7-0 over Belle Plaine the #7 seed.  Paityn Engemann had an amazing day allowing zero runs in seven innings, allowing only two hits, zero walks, and striking out fourteen batters.

The Trojans secured the win thanks to four runs in the second inning. Jacey Moore and Emma McConnaughey each drove in runs during that inning.  The Trojans got one home run on the day, when Senior McConnaughey socked one deep in the second inning. The Trojans, tallied ten hits on the day.  McConnaughey, Engemann, and Moore all managed multiple hits for the Trojans. 

 Congratulations to the 2022 Troy High School Softball Team 2-1A State Runner-Up.
