We are delighted to share our latest updates on two major fundraising initiatives at Trinity High School -- our EmPOWERed Campaign and our Trinity Theater Renovation Plan.
EmPOWERed Campaign Update
Auditorium Renovation
It's happening! We are thrilled to report that work has begun on the Trinity Theater Renovation Plan! The chairs have been removed from the auditorium! Would you believe it only took three days? Stay tuned for more to come.
May not be the exact model of chair that will be in Trinity's auditorium.

On April 14th, working with the Wight & Co Team, our architect Leanne Meyer-Smith, and LEED Fellow Lois Vitt Sale, Trinity hosted a Sustainability Workshop where we learned more about sustainability efforts we can implement in our community and at Trinity! Check out the video to view the workshop.

The Construction Project
Horizontal & Vertical Link

We plan to install a much-needed elevator and connecting walkway of the academic building to the Sr. Michelle Germanson Athletic Facility to improve our accessibility and security. The elevator will provide access to all floors in the academic building and each stop will offer a collaborative space for students and faculty. We are evaluating an option for an outdoor walkway on the second floor and green roof.
Enclosed Courtyard

An enclosed courtyard will be designed and landscaped for outdoor education, recreation, events, and green space all using sustainable practices. This space will offer an array of outdoor seating for our students in a beautifully landscaped area.
Auditorium Accessibility
We will be enhancing our ADA accessibility in Trinity's Auditorium. We are evaluating an outdoor ramp option as well as a chair lift from the academic building to the Auditorium and accessibility backstage.
