SCHOOL HISTORY
Travelers Rest High School has served the northern Greenville County area since the early 20th century. In the 1920s, the school’s athletic teams were nicknamed the “Purple Flashes” and “Swamp Rabbits.” In 1950, the “Devildogs” nickname was adopted by a vote of the football team.[4]
A major campus was built in 1956, which remained in use for decades. The building appeared in the 2008 film Leatherheads starring George Clooney
The old campus was demolished in 2011, and the site was transformed into Trailblazer Park, an outdoor amphitheater and event venue.[6]
The current TRHS campus opened in 2005 at 301 North Main Street, featuring modern educational and athletic facilities.
