Some have said that Trinity is an old-fashioned school. Yes, it is. It is a Catholic school, teaching old fashioned values with emphasis on traditional academics. Children attending this school find the classes to be challenging and graduates find that they are more prepared for the college environment

No matter where you go, it is up to you and your parents to make the most of your educational opportunities. Opportunities abound at Trinity High School. I am proud to coach at Trinity and honored to be a small part of the Trinity tradition. Read less

I withdrew my children. Very few dedicated teachers, although there are some that truly care about teaching. Also, when my children enrolled in another school, they were lacking some required classes.

Most of the teachers are really not all that great and honestly don't get paid enough to care. Tuition is high and almost unreasonable, considering the lack of up-to-date technology and teaching techniques. Extracurricular activities? In a word: sports. Everything else is placed on the back burner with

Trinity High School is by the far the worst school to send your child to. Academics are great and help with college. But the teachers don't always teach and expected us to teach ourselves on college level subjects. And for handling discipline, don't expect the school to do much in that area. The principal

I was disappointed in my senior year and feel that the school has gone down hill since Sr. Francine left.

My childwent to Trinity but then left after being very disappointed with the school. Most of the teachers did not even teach during classtime; instead, students were suppost to learn the material themselves. Also, Trinity has a reputation for being very old-fashioned. Technology is a weak point of

Sister Francine, the former principle, has just left as well as Mr. Hudson, the Dean of Students, who took a job at a nearby public high school. Dr. Burke, the Assistant Principle will now take on all three roles. My guess is that they have had a hard time hiring anyone since the pay is not great and most quality teachers have public school jobs. Also, several teachers have left as well. If you are looking for a solid academic school, Trinity is not the one to pick. Read less

This isn't the best school, as many would think. If you do not have much money you are not treated as an equal. Tuition is high, and I can barely afford it. My daughter is going to Bishop McDevit next semester.
