Triton Junior–Senior High School is a public high school in Bourbon, Indiana just south of U.S. Highway 30. It is a part of the Triton School Corporation. The school's current principals are Nate McKeand and Rick Yarbrough. The Triton School Corporation, formed in 1963 to consolidate the schools of Bourbon, Etna Green, and Tippecanoe, is located in east central Marshall County, Indiana.

The nearby Bourbon Community Building-Gymnasium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 and removed from the register in 2021 as it was demolished.
