School History and Tradition
The tradition of Blessed Trinity Catholic School began in 1963. The first phase was built on the north end of the property. Three years later a permanent structure was added, including a gymnasium.
Blessed Trinity 60+ Years Later
Over the years, the school has enjoyed a strong association with the community and the Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC). Extensive contributions have been made by parents to help fund programs and activities that benefit students directly, as well as to sponsor information nights for parents. The CSPC has helped fund the school playground and update the library, as well as support many school activities and fund the purchase of many resources.
Blessed Trinity traditions include a strong emphasis on following gospel values, daily prayer and monthly masses, strong parental involvement and commitment, community celebrations such as the Family Dance, Winter Carnival, Spring Tea and Family Barbecue, and Environment Club.
A variety of sports are available to the students such as the swim team, volleyball, softball, basketball, soccer, floor hockey, cross-country and track and field. In order to encourage leadership and peacemaking, we have initiated various programs such Peace Mediation, Safety Patrollers, Crime Stoppers, VIP (Values, Influences and Peers) and Be Free.
The tradition of academic excellence, artistic and musical development along with the development of Christian students who live their lives based on Gospel values continues to be an ongoing objective of Blessed Trinity Catholic School.
