A Message to High School Parents

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone made it through the storm safely. I want to take a moment to recognize two outstanding groups of students this week.

Congratulations to the Trinity softball team, which has clinched first place in Region 4AAA and is currently ranked 5th in the state! Additionally, our volleyball team is also performing exceptionally well, holding first place in the region and 2nd in the state. A huge shoutout to both teams and their coaches, Coach Gregg and Coach Kuchinski—great job, girls!

I also want to remind you that the Annual Fund Blitz, which was interrupted by Hurricane Helene, is still ongoing and will continue through October 2nd. Your support is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your continued involvement and support.

Best regards,

Blake Bass 

Assistant Head Of School

Interim High School Principal

Adjusted Schedule for Week of Sept. 30 Only

Friday, Oct. 4th is a remote learning day. High school students will not be on campus for that day. They will be assigned work from various classes to complete at home. Additionally, this is a great opportunity for students to spend the day completing make-up work. 

The goal during a four-day week is to maximize instructional time. So, for this coming week only, the class schedule will be adjusted. Students should follow the schedule below. They can also find this in their Blackbaud dashboard under “My Day.”

Fall PSAT Administration for 11th Grade

All 11th graders are required to take the fall administration of the PSAT on the morning of Monday, Oct. 14th. The PSAT is now a digital formatted test taken through the Bluebook app on their Chromebook. It helps prepare them for taking the SAT during the spring semester and gives them access to scholarship opportunities. The cost for the test is $15 and will be charged to their student account. 

After testing, students will attend afternoon classes or activities we have planned for that day. It is not a half-day of school.

SAT Dates for 2024-25

The dates for fall and spring administration of the SAT have been released for the 2024-25 school year. Students should register for their preferred date to reserve a seat for that administration. You can register online for the SAT HERE.
