Keeping you plugged into the exciting things happening at the High School

Events & Announcements

School is not only a place to learn about the world around you but it's also a place where you learn about yourself. The academic journey can open doors daily for learning subject matter, scripture, and social emotional awareness and understanding. Ignite the light that you have in your heart and embrace every new experience with an open mind. Let the words from this scripture passage Isaiah 41:10 be ones that are in your heart and at the forefront of your thoughts daily.

What’s the deal with High School Dismissal?!

The High School schedule offers a staggered dismissal process. You will need to become familiar with the dismissal time for your student.  As an example, some students have a dismissal time of MTWF classes ending at 2:20pm and on Thursday (Chapel Day) the classes dismiss at 2:25pm. 

While other students will conclude their MTWF classes at 3:15pm and on Thursday (Chapel Day) the classes dismiss at 3:10pm. Please review your student's specific schedule in order to make the best arrangements for picking up.

If you are coming on campus to pick up your student it would be best to use the Peachtree City East Entrance which we refer to as Lions Way and arrive on the campus at 3:30pm. Left turns are not permitted until 3:30pm due to the running line for the LS/UES/MS dismissal. With this in mind, you will not be able to pick up your student directly at the high school building until 3:30pm or after. Students that are dismissed at the earlier time can be picked up in front of the high school building but you will need to be on campus for pick up before 2:45pm.

All Things Class of 2023

Senior Retreat 

I simply cannot imagine a better start to the year for our senior class. The week prior to the start of classes, many of our seniors loaded the Trinity buses on an adventure to Panama City Beach for a time of fun, bonding, and spiritual renewal. It wasn’t the volleyball tournaments, Spike ball, or ocean time that made this trip special, however, it was the messages! We got to hear the Bible department faculty and various others throughout the week deliver sound, poignant messages to a senior class that is set to embark on their final season at Trinity. We were amazed at what the Lord is doing in the hearts of this special class of students. At the end of every day, we were treated to fireside worship on the beach and by the end of the week, I truly believe we were experiencing a little bit of heaven on earth. Thank you Jesus for all you have done and what you continue to do!
