“My time at Holy Trinity was really memorable. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking back is how positive school was. Not only was it good to be surrounded by friends who I grew up with, but the teachers and staff were there to make me a better person. I played on numerous sports teams which I really enjoyed, but it was also my time in the classroom that made me realize I am a curious person. I know that Holy Trinity is different from most other places; in the best way possible. I am thankful for my time and all the people at Holy Trinity.”
