Students will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday, November 6, as part of our Middle States evaluation.

Veterans Day Recognition
Veterans Day is right around the corner.

NOTE: If you have previously sent this information, we still have it on file and you do not need to resubmit.
Student Accident Insurance
As our students prepare for winter sports, it's a good time to consider insurance availability for student-athletes. The Diocese of Harrisburg contracts with AG Specialty Insurance to offer low-cost, voluntary insurance options for our families. See more information here, and find the enrollment form here.

Sophomores--Could You Be the Next Trinity HOBY Ambassador?
Each year, Trinity sophomores who believe they possess leadership skills have the opportunity to apply for the HOBY Youth Leadership Seminar. After submitting applications, two selected Trinity students will attend the prestigious HOBY Youth Leadership Seminar (held at Millersville University, traditionally in late May into early June) to represent Trinity High School and sharpen their skills of personal leadership, group leadership, and leadership for society. Students who are chosen and attend this seminar can list this on their resumes and are highly recognized by colleges and universities as strong leaders in their communities.
Sophomores interested in applying should pick up applications from the 9th and 10th grade counselor, Mrs. Kerry Sweigart (Miss Campbell). Applications, which require a typed essay, will be due by Thursday, November 7. Trinity's current HOBY Ambassadors spoke to all 10th graders on November 1 about their experience at the 2024 HOBY Leadership Seminar.
Musical Auditions
Auditions for the spring musical, The Wizard of Oz, will be held on Monday and Tuesday, November 4 and 5, with callbacks on Thursday, November 7. Click here for more information.
