A Message from the Principal
Dear TCS Family,
This week marks a major milestone, our seniors' final week of academic classes at Trinity. As they begin their final exams, we celebrate all they’ve accomplished and the growth we’ve witnessed in their time here. The week culminates in Graduation, scheduled for this Thursday at 7:30 PM, a special moment to honor their hard work and send them out with blessing.
It’s a week full of meaningful moments: Senior Honors Night on Tuesday, Senior Chapel and Senior Walk on Wednesday and of course, Graduation on Thursday evening. These events mark the close of one chapter and the beginning of the next.
Please join us in praying for clarity, peace, and confidence as our seniors finish strong and step into their future, grounded in truth and purpose.
We’re also looking forward to celebrating our younger high school students at the Undergrad Awards Ceremony this Monday at 8:30 AM. Parents are invited to attend and see their student(s) honored for their academic achievements.
For additional information on this week’s events, please click on our Year-End Landing Page.
Please note: Due to these special events and exams, we will be revising our school schedule next week. Details of the adjusted schedule is below:

SENIOR EXIT SURVEY
Seniors need to complete the exit survey. This is a form you can find in the dashboard of your Blackbaud account. Please complete this before graduation.
SENIORS ORDERING FINAL TRANSCRIPTS FROM PARCHMENT
Seniors, when you are ordering final transcripts to be sent through Parchment to your college or university, select "Hold for Grades" instead of "Send Now" if ordering them before June 2. Any orders that aren't held for grades will be incomplete and sent immediately. On or after June 2, you can select Send Now, as they should be complete by then.
AP EXAM SCHEDULE
AP Exams are coming in May. See the schedule below to make preparations for a specific exam. Morning start times begin at 8:00 AM. Afternoon start times begin at 12:00 PM. All exams will be given on campus. Details on the location of the exam at TCS will be given to the students at a later date.
