Trinity’s principal attributes this uniquely special school to the high quality and extremely dedicated teaching staff. While there are many tools and resources available to teachers in making curriculum come alive, it is their dedication to students, passion for learning, and inspirational attitudes that drive the school forward. There is a spirit of teamwork at Trinity that contributes to its success. Professional learning communities and weekly grade level meetings regarding shared lesson planning, analysis of assessment results and conversations of best practices are evidence of this.

An emphasis on fostering a culture of respect and purposeful relationships is the springboard for the positive energy that fills the classrooms. The high energy and positive culture is contagious.
