A Message from the Principal

This has been a great week filled with God’s blessings on our High School campus. There’s so much happening, and I’d love for you to be fully aware and engaged as we continue this journey together.

Table Talk: Vision for Trinity High School

Parents, we invite you to watch our very first Table Talk video, where you’ll hear from our administration team on the many exciting things happening at Trinity. In this session, I specifically share the vision of our High School and what each parent can expect by sending their student to Trinity and allowing us to partner with you towards spiritual and academic growth. 

Senior Retreat

This coming Monday, September 8–10, our Seniors will head to Snowbird for their annual retreat. Parents, you’re invited to join us on the football field for a special Breakfast and Prayer on September 8 as we cover our seniors in prayer and send them off for an incredible retreat. Breakfast begins at 8:30 AM, followed by the official send-off at 9:30 AM. We can’t wait to see you there!

Beginning September 15, Trinity will join in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Week. This is a time to honor the rich history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. Throughout the week, we will highlight the vibrant traditions, stories of faith, and lasting impact of this community, reminding us of the beauty of God’s diverse Kingdom.

Homecoming 2025 – “HOCO”

We are excited to announce Homecoming Week 2025, beginning September 22nd! Highlights include our annual Parade on 9/22, the Pep Rally and Football Game on 9/26, which includes the announcement of our Homecoming King & Queen.  Just when you think Homecoming has ended, we conclude with the much-anticipated HOCO Dance on 9/27. Mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate with Lion pride!

Coffee & Donuts with the Principal and Administration 

Parents, please join the High School Administrative Team October 2nd in the Multi-Purpose Room from 8:30-9:15AM. These quarterly gatherings will give us the opportunity to connect in person and provide updates on topics such as:

  • News and notes for the 2025–2026 school year

  • Academic rigor assessment

  • Communication efficiency

  • SAT/ACT readiness

  • College entrance

  • Scholarships and financial aid

  • Other topics that are on your mind

Stay tuned for dates, times, and location.

This week In Chapel:

This week, our 10th grade Bible teacher shared on the theme “Why Study Romans?” Students were reminded of three powerful reasons to dig deeply into this book of Scripture:

  1. Romans clarifies the gospel – it clearly explains God’s plan of salvation.

  2. Romans diagnoses our culture – it reveals the root problem of sin in the world around us.

  3. Romans keeps Jesus at the center – reminding us that everything begins and ends with Him.

In Romans 1, Paul shows the universality of sin—that all people have fallen short. Only when we recognize the reality of sin and judgment can we fully appreciate the good news of salvation in Christ.

🎓 SENIORS – Rep Your College!

We are so proud of you and all the hard work you’ve put in to get to this exciting point in your journey! Beginning this week, you’re invited to wear a t-shirt or hoodie from your college of choice/interest every Thursday. Whether it’s your final decision or one of your top choices, we want to cheer you on as you take this next big step. Let’s fill the halls with college pride and celebrate the amazing futures ahead for the Class of 2026!

We can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you.
