A Message from the Principal

As we approach the end of the 1st quarter I’m reminded of Hebrews 10:23-26 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”  There is a lot to celebrate and look forward to at Trinity! Next week will be a short week on campus, with Friday designated as a Remote Learning Day, followed by an extended Fall Break weekend, a well-deserved time of rest for our students and families.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting Senior Parent Night, where we outlined the year as a Senior. This journey is one we’re walking together, helping our seniors prepare for life after high school, whether that means college, ministry, or vocation. Our counseling department presented a clear roadmap for college applications and financial aid, and we invite you to visit the college readiness section on our counseling webpage which can be found below under Announcements & Events.

We also hosted our first Coffee & Donuts with the Principal and Administration.  What a wonderful morning of connection and vision-casting! We shared our three-pronged high school vision: Christ-Centered Education, Academic Rigor, and Partnership with Parents and Community. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such meaningful conversation. Stay tuned for details on our next Coffee & Donuts gathering, which will be topic-driven based on what matters most to you, our families.

WHAT COLLEGE IS A GOOD MATCH FOR ME?

Trying to figure out what college makes sense? Not sure you can go to college at all based on your GPA? If that is the case, GEORGIA MATCH IS FOR YOU! 

Georgia Match is a simple way for students to know where they are eligible for admission, based on their recent high school calculated HOPE grade point average (GPA). The Georgia Student Finance Commission is helping students see where they could attend college in Georgia based on their current academic record and then to apply to institutions that they are most interested in attending.
