  Realizing that freedom and individual growth occur best within an environment of order and mutual respect, Trinity Episcopal School abides by codes of honor and conduct. We expect students, faculty, parents, administrators and staff to respect the integrity of the community, to act responsibly and to support one another for the betterment of each individual and of the entire school.

  Discovering Your Path

  In life there are many different paths that lead to achievement and fulfillment. At Trinity our charge is to create an environment where students have the acceptance and guidance to discover their strengths, passions and purpose. This knowledge will make a difference in their school years and, even more important, in the rest of their lives.

The Trinity Community:  Every morning all 506 of Trinity’s students gather in the Perkinson Arts Center with the school’s faculty and staff.  The day begins with the pledge of allegiance and a prayer. Student leaders preside over the Morning Meeting and acknowledge all who wish to make an announcement.  Students congratulate classmates on their achievements, sports results are cheered, and lunchtime concerts on the outdoor stage are announced. Teachers announce reminders regarding assignments and various club meetings, and everyone is applauded on their birthday. Community, responsibility, individual attention – all in the first 15 minutes of the day.  Imagine what Trinity can accomplish in a high school career. Welcome to a school where students can follow their dreams and discover their paths.
