Middle School

Holy Trinity middle school serves sixth through eighth-grade students. Our faculty and staff appreciate the change our middle school students experience as they prepare to transition between elementary school and high school.

Our highly credentialed faculty and curriculum offer a rigorous academic experience. Our Catholic faith is at the heart of our curriculum and forms the foundation of all we do in the classroom to achieve our mission.

Faith

Students receive instruction in our Catholic faith four times per week.  Weekly participation in Mass, bi-yearly participation in reconciliation, and preparation for Confirmation in the eighth grade are key elements of our formation program. Additionally, students serve as leaders during the liturgies such as:

• Altar servers
• Lectors
• Rosary leaders
• Song leaders and musicians

Academics

The middle-school core curriculum of english, literature, math, science, social studies, and religion are enhanced with the use of technology such as the smart board and chrome books for research, reading comprehension activities, group work, presentations, mapping skills, and other activities. Middle-school faculty and staff are dedicated to developing critical thinking and organizational skills.

• Student Council
