Education Fairland had its own high school at the turn of the 20th century. Fairland became an incorporated town, and by 1873, a new brick school was built to replace the two separate buildings formerly used. A new school was built in 1883, and when that one burned, another was built in 1928 and used until 1984. The Fairland athletic teams were the "Hornets" until they became part of the Northwestern Consolidated School District of Shelby County and became the "Triton Tigers." Triton Elementary School, Triton Middle School, and Triton Central High School, which make up the Northwestern Consolidated School District, are located approximately two miles north of the town of Fairland. The school colors are kelly green and white, and the mascot is the tiger. Arts and culture Fairland hosts events including their annual Fairland Fish Fry Festival which includes games, food, music and fireworks for the community.
