The best source for information on Trojan Athletics appears to be yearbooks, so content for this page has been gleaned from those 14 publications. Not only has the information been collected here for easy viewing,
but links to the actual yearbooks are provided for those who want to see the team photos and source info. Interestingly, the quality of information varies widely from year to year. Some sports are represented by photos with little or no concrete information about team records. Other yearbooks have considerably more data, for example, scores with narratives about the games. Information is most sketchy on the spring

sports because the yearbook had to go to press before
the season was completed. From 1954-1960, OHS did
not have a separate yearbook, but was instead part of the Erinnerungen (Memories) yearbooks, which included all high schools in Germany and France.

Below you will also find links to to Pdfs of the OHS section of the Erinnerungen yearbooks, and the subsequent stand-alone OHS yearbooks from 1961 to 1967. Links to the complete Erinnerungen yearbooks can be found at orleansamericanhighschool.com. If you have additional information about OHS athletics, or see any mistakes

TAHS History

In the summer of 1962, in response to the Berlin Wall crisis,
there was a significant increase in the number of American
troops stationed throughout Europe in general, and in northeastern France in particular. Along with the large influx
of military personnel, there was a corresponding bulge in the number of dependents.

Faced with the overcrowding of the only American high school
in the region,  Verdun, it was decided to open a new high school
in the Toul/Nancy area. Thus was born, Toul American High School. Space was made available in the Jeanne d'Arc hospital/elementary/middle school complex just east of the city of Toul,
and exactly one month after the decision was made, TAHS opened for classes on September 5, 1962.

The student body was a mix of kids from three basic
categories. One group, the locals, were already living in the
area and had previously attended Verdun or one of the feeder junior high or middle schools. Another, the Lakenheath crowd,
had transferred in from England where they had attended either Lakenheath American High School or one of its feeders. The
third group, the newcomers, were newly arrived from various stateside locations.

Toul High existed for only four years. It was closed at the end of the 1965-66 school year as a result of the French withdrawal from NATO, and the relatively few remaining students once again went to Verdun, which remained open for another two years.
