Trinity's Unique IB Program
"When I reflect on the past four years I spent at Trinity High School, no words can begin to express the amount of gratitude I feel for attending a wonderful institution. The journey I began freshman year has been long and difficult, but it is very rewarding. Trinity’s rigorous IB curriculum has not only tested my academic abilities, but it has also challenged me mentally and physically. I faced many hardships due to the amount of workload I needed to complete, but those challenges have only provided me with vital skills I can use in the next chapter of my life. I am more than thankful to my teachers for always inspiring me to be more resilient and ambitious. Without them, I would not be the successful student I am today, and I certainly would not have discovered my passion for leadership, teamwork, and volunteering."
