Athletics
The Triad High School athletics teams originally competed in the defunct Midwestern Conference before moving to the South Central Conference. In the 1993-94 school year, Triad moved to the Mississippi Valley Conference (MVC) due to enrollment growth, replacing O'fallon Township High School. The MVC currently consists of six schools: Bethalto's Civic Memorial High School, Highland High School, Jerseyville's Jersey Community High School, Mascoutah Community High School, Troy's Triad High School, and Waterloo High School. Triad's colors are red, black, and white and their mascot is the Knights. Triad has the following sports programs:

Cheerleading
The Triad varsity cheerleading squad won Illinois Cheerleading Coaches Association (ICCA) state titles in 2001 and 2002 in the Medium Varsity division. In 2006, they became the first squad to win the both state championships (ICCA and IHSA). That was the first year that the Illinois High School Association considered cheerleading a sport.
