WE ARE HOLY TRINITY“Coming from a public school,

I didn’t think a Catholic education would be possible

until Holy Trinity. Moshay is becoming braver, more

confident and a better advocate for herself. With

three honors classes, her courses are challenging, but

she has learned to study and go to teachers for help.

Thanks to that support, Moshay earned a 4.2 GPA!”

- Monica, mother of Moshay ‘20

HT GOES FARSINCE 2006, 100% OF OUR GRADUATES HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED

TO THE COLLEGE OR PROGRAM OF THEIR CHOICE.

Juan, '14Juan transferred to Holy Trinity his sophomore year in search of more rigorous academics. At HT, Juan was accepted into honors classes, where he discovered a strong affinity for business and math. He dreamed of attending a small college out of state, but didn’t know how to get there. Through HT’s College Visit Program, he visited Stonehill College (MA) and St. Edward’s University (TX). Juan knew Stonehill was where he belonged as soon as he stepped on campus. HT’s counselors guided him through the scholarship process, helping him earn full funding through scholarships and grants. Juan will graduate from Stonehill in 2018 with a degree in finance.

Tobi '17Upon receiving admission to several top-50 universities, Tobi narrowed down his choices Ohio State and University of Southern California. Through HT's College Visit Program, Tobi toured both campuses. "I truly started to bleed cardinal and gold the instant I stepped on USC's campus," he says. "I feel USC is the right place to go to further the development and education I received at Holy Trinity." Tobi credits his honors and AP courses, ACT prep program and the guidance he received at HT with helping him receive the equivalent of a full-ride scholarship to the school of his choice. "I've taken all of what HT has taught me and, in combination with my own efforts, I have been able to achieve feats that most people wouldn't expect from the child of immigrants."
