"The work load and help that teachers gave me at Holy Trinity greatly prepared me for the college work load. A lot of freshmen feel overloaded and struggle to manage their time, but because of Holy Trinity, I feel like I’ve had a smooth and prosperous transition into college. Holy Trinity helped prepare me to take on difficult challenges and persevere through obstacles that will come my way."

"I didn't want to be treated as a number. I want to be treated as an actual person, I want people to know my name. I was used to that, because I went to a small, Catholic grammar school. So, I realized HT was the best place to be me. I've been really challenged here. The honors classes show me what my actual capabilities are, and teachers push me because they know my abilities and how I can excel."

"My coaches have opened my eyes and helped me be a person of character in my whole life, on and off the court. Every day I improve more. My coaches are helping me reach my full potential."

"I never imagined I'd be this involved at HT, but it's what I'm most proud of, including speaking at open houses, serving in campus ministry, and helping start our crew team."

"At my last school, it was very easy to make As. I felt like it wasn't taking me anywhere, so my mom said I could transfer. Now at HT, I'm being pushed and my counselors are challenging me to apply to different university summer programs. I know I'll be ready for college to pursue my dream of becoming a surgeon."

"I picked Holy Trinity because it's a really good school and I wanted to be in a small environment. People are friendlier here—I've already made a lot of friends and the teachers help me right away. Oh, and the lunch is really good."

“Creating a business plan and competing in entrepreneurship challenges has taught me perseverance and leadership. I’ve developed critical thinking and a camaraderie with students, faculty, and staff as well as people in the local business community.”
Mason

"I'm someone who likes a challenge. I know how good my clubs, sports, AP and honors classes will look on my college applications, and because HT is small, it's easy for me to get involved. I am in two sports and three clubs and still get good grades because of the resources here. Most teachers stay here way past the time they're supposed to and help you if you don't understand something."

"The first time I visited, I thought this would be my school, you know? It was the way I pictured high school, everyone roaming the halls, opening up their lockers, talking to each other. When a new person comes in, everyone greets them. It's very nice. My first friend was Janae. She led me to all my classes. As I got more and more into the school, I started gaining more and more friends."
Xavier

"When I came in 8th grade for geometry, I thought I'd be really scared because there were all these tall kids walking around. But now that I'm a student here, it's really different—in a good way. We do a lot of group work, and not just in the classroom."
