Upper School

Message from the Principal

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Upper School and to offer you an opportunity to learn more about our school. Students in the Upper School, grades 9-12, take a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum. The highly qualified, caring faculty encourages students to set high personal standards and achieve their greatest possible intellectual growth. In Trinity Prep's cooperative atmosphere, the teachers know all their students as individuals. Students are helped to reach their potential, and their creative talents are maximized.

Twenty-five Advanced Placement courses provide the opportunity for our students to pursue college-level course work while still at Trinity Prep, and many enter college with credits earned in high school. Honors courses are offered in English, mathematics, social sciences, foreign languages, science, and fine arts. English/history interdisciplinary study and an outstanding facility for laboratory sciences are special features of our program. Students can choose from a wide variety of elective courses to complement the required academic program. These courses are offered throughout all disciplines and can be referenced in our curriculum guide linked to this website.

Academic preparation is only part of what students are exposed to in the Upper School each year.  Leadership, character, and service to the community are also at the forefront of our mission.  Upper School students develop leadership skills and build character through connections and long-lasting relationships cultivated with teachers, coaches, and other members of the Trinity Family.  In accordance with one of our four core values, our daily efforts "promote leadership, ethical behavior, personal responsibility, and reinforce the highest standard of character and honor."   This core commitment is achieved through the myriad opportunities offered in the classroom, on the stage and athletic fields, in advisory groups and clubs, and through various community service endeavors. 

Our students are talented and very involved. They eagerly accept the challenge of a rigorous yet rewarding curriculum, unselfishly volunteer their time for others, and work together to achieve common goals.  Along the way, they discover creative talents, establish life-long relationships, and develop the skills and personal integrity necessary for college and beyond.  

Sincerely,

Dennis C. Herron
