Your Opinion Counts
On Friday you received an email explaining that Trinity is undertaking an exercise to envision the Trinity of the future. In order to do so, we must come to understand where we are now. The email included a link for parents to sign up to participate in a focus group which will take place from 5:00-6:00 PM on Monday, February 17th. In addition, it asked for all parents to participate in a survey that will be sent this Monday, January 27th. If you would like to attend the focus group but have not yet replied, click here . Thank you in advance for your assistance!.

Parents are strongly encouraged and students are required to attend this meeting focused on the college search and application process. We’ll discuss the college planning timeline; roles and responsibilities of the counselor, student, and parent; important factors in admissions decisions; helpful resources including Naviance- our online college planning platform; and paying for college.  Students and parents may attend one of two meeting times: 8:00-9:15 AM or 7:00-8:15 PM in the Auditorium.

Although summer seems very far away, it's not too early for students to start thinking about how they'll spend their time over summer break. Trinity has a robust listing of summer enrichment opportunities including: pre-college courses; writing, medical, and engineering camps; leadership symposiums; study abroad opportunities; summer jobs; and internships. Check out the  Summer Enrichment Opportunities  website (information is added and updated as we receive it). Application deadlines begin in January.
