Holy Trinity truly exemplifies community and leadership. They strive to support each student as individuals, yet at the same time create a sense of family. The student body is small, yet diverse. The faculty strives to build genuine relationships with the students and it is clearly evidenced by the students' behavior and esteem for their school.

As a class of 2018, here are some of the reasons why I love HT. ( not in order)
-Small classes
-Resources are EVERYWHERE if one is struggling in class
-Teachers care about every individual student ( some will constantly nag you about your grades) :D
-The admission office staffs are amazing! They would sacrifice so much for everyone to come to HT.
-From what I see, ht improves so much since my freshman year, from renovating all the bathroom to modifying the schools website, brochures, and letting their students know theyre all about them.
-Sports! No experience needed. Everyone can play

I don't get why people are complaining if they help with financial aid and it is a great school. I'm going to be a freshman this year and I'm excited

Great educational institution. Teachers and other students make you feel right at home, make you feel like a family. Teachers are attentive to their students and truly care for their students.

My daughter did a shadow day at HTHS. She liked the experience very much. Unfortunately she won't be able to attend, due to money and distance.

The WORST school. They discriminate against WHITE people - COLETTE BLAKELY specifically. THEY let a MEXICAN child cheat. DO NOT - DO NOT LET your child take her ACT tests at this school. Watch out if you do! They watch CAUCASIANs like hawks. They called me a LOSER - and I am the mom. NICE... REAL NICE
