WELCOME ALDO BACALLAO
Aldo Bacallao - Film & Broadcast Production Teacher
Aldo Bacallao comes to us already a friend of Trinity. He has frequented Trinity Church as well as TCS, and is now in place as our Film & Broadcast Production teacher. Aldo has taught Film & Broadcast in the public schools for almost 20 years, and comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The students have already connected with him, as they tell stories together and bring these to life on the screen. Aldo is married to Mary Kay, and they have three girls and one boy. He also enjoys woodworking.
ORCHESTRA HIGHLIGHTS
This Christmas season our MS and HS Orchestra students traveled to Peachtree City to minister to the residents of PruittPlace. This is an assisted living facility, and we have given Christmas concerts there in the past - they were thrilled to have us back! Well done to all of our string players - you represented the music program, your school, and your Lord well!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CAST OF LITTLE WOMEN
We are thrilled to announce that our High School One Act cast and crew of Little Women has been selected as one of only 24 schools to perform at the Georgia Theatre Conference this February in Columbus, GA!
This is a tremendous honor, as the conference welcomes more than 6,000 theatre students from across the state. Being chosen to perform places our students among the top high school theatre programs in Georgia and recognizes their outstanding talent, dedication, and hard work.
Please join us in congratulating our cast, crew, and directors for this remarkable achievement. We are so proud of the artistry they bring to our stage and excited to see them shine at the state level!
Bravo to our performers and technicians! THESCON, here we come!

INSTRUMENT REPAIR
We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments. If you have an instrument that needs repair, this may be a great option for you. The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus. Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table. This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now. Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
