Trinity Catholic is an Archdiocesan, co-educational, college-preparatory school serving all types of students and
learning styles with three levels of learning (honors, standard and fundamental).
!Trinity Catholic annually sends 98% of its graduates to college. Students have been accepted to and attended colleges
and universities including Stanford, Georgetown, UCLA, Northwestern, Washington University and St. Louis
University.
!Trinity Catholic offers 58 hours of college credit classes to junior and senior level students through St. Louis University,
the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Missouri Baptist University. The credits earned will transfer to most college
and universities across the country and cost just $65 per hour. Taking college credit classes in high school significantly
increases the value of a Trinity Catholic education when considering tuition dollars saved in college.

Art and Family & Consumer Science. These courses give students academic choices as they prepare for the future.
!Trinity Catholic requires its students to earn 31 credits to graduate. That is more than all but one high school in the

Faith and
Service
3
Faith Life
Jesus Christ is the reason for Trinity Catholic
High School. The Catholic faith is the foundation
for everything at Trinity Catholic.
All-school Masses and are held each month.
There is morning and afternoon prayer each day, a
four-year religion curriculum for all students and
Campus Ministry and a Mission For Life Team.
This reinforces the call Trinity Catholic students
have to live the Gospel and share the message of
Jesus through faith, love and service to others.
Sacraments
In addition to monthly all-school Mass, Trinity
Catholic students are also afforded the opportunity
to take part in the sacrament of Reconciliation
during the Advent and Lenten seasons.
Campus Ministry
All of the Eucharistic celebrations are planned by
the Campus Ministry Team of students led by Campus
Minister Mrs. Michelle Johnson.
The Campus Ministry Team, open to students of all
grade levels, selects a theme for each celebration. They
choose music, readings, prepare petitions and plan and
implement special rites and symbols to enhance the
experience of the community. A liturgical student choir
and student musicians also participate.
Students are invited to read, serve the Mass and take
part in special rites.
Retreats
Senior students go on a two-day, overnight retreat in
October where they are given the opportunity to reflect
on and integrate what they have gained in faith
formation.
Freshmen, sophomore and junior students spend a
Day of Recollection off campus with their classmates
at various locations. These days of prayer are held in
October as well.
Discussion and reflection center on the areas of
friendship, respect for others, self esteem, personal
pride, the connectedness of all people and social
values.

Mission for Life Team
!
Essential to the growth of the Trinity Catholic faith
community is putting faith into action. That is the
purpose of the Mission For Life Team.
Each year students of all grade levels are welcome to
join Mrs. Michelle Johnson, who schedules various
activities to assist the less fortunate throughout the St.
Louis area. The students also participate in Pro-Life
activities focusing on education about Life issues.
Trinity Catholic students also participate in the ProLife March in Washington, D.C. in January.
Other activities have included a candy collection
drive at Halloween benefitting the St. Matthew’s Safe
Streets Halloween Campaign, toy drives and Angel
Baked cookie sales during the Christmas seasons to
help needy families enjoy the holidays and a “penny
war” to raise funds for the Trinity Catholic gift to the
Annual Catholic Appeal which assists many
organizations in the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
!
Service
Trinity Catholic students are called to serve
and must complete 100 hours of Christian
Service over their four years (or 25 hours per
year for each year enrolled). This graduation
requirement reinforces the teachings of Jesus in
terms of giving to others.
While the community at large benefits, the
students themselves also benefit by learning
about their own talents and treasures and
realizing the importance of thinking of others
first.
Up to 50 Christian Service hours may be
performed at Trinity Catholic events while the
other half of the hours must be served in the
larger community.
When performing Christian Service the
students must have an evaluation and signed
certification from a supervisor of the project
and must also provide a personal reflection
about the benefits of their service. It is up to
each student to arrange his or her Christian
Service hours but the school provides
suggestions and opportunities if the student
needs them.
Religion teacher Mr. Pat Whalen documents
the hours and tabulates the total for each
student.
Religion Curriculum
Trinity Catholic students take eight semester
classes of religion instruction. Subject matters
include Scripture, moral problems, life choices,
correct decision-making, the history of the Catholic
Church and Sacraments among others.
Students of all faiths are required to participate in
the religion curriculum as well as all masses, prayer
services and retreats.
The overall goal is to teach Catholicism and the
applications of those teachings to everyday life.
Trinity Catholic students are called to develop a
personal prayer style and a healthy relationship with
God and those around them.

Academics
The college-preparatory curriculum at Trinity Catholic High School
prepares students for post-secondary education and meets a wide range of
student abilities, interests and career goals. Additionally, the curriculum is
designed to provide courses that challenge students on all ability levels.
The required curriculum includes courses that meet and exceed the
requirements of the State of Missouri.
Trinity Catholic students must earn 31 credits to graduate, the most
required at all but one Catholic high school in the St. Louis area. Trinity
Catholic students earn as many as five more credits than students at
other high schools in the St. Louis area and Southern Illinois.
Courses are offered at three levels (Honors, Standard and Fundamental)
with the content and method of instruction tailored to the student’s
abilities, interests, and post secondary goals. Students have the ability to
take classes at different levels depending on the subject.
!
Trinity Catholic offers 58 hours of college credit classes in Science,
English, Spanish, History, and Mathematics. Junior and senior level
students who qualify may take the college credit classes.
!
Trinity Catholic employs a full-time Learning Consultant - Mrs. Beth
Lappe - to work with students with diagnosed learning challenges further
reinforcing the commitment to the success of all students. Beth Lappe
utilizes the information in a student’s IEP (Individual Education Plan) to
develop a profile for success. The necessary academic accommodations are
put in place for each student and that information is confidentially
communicated to the classroom teachers. Mrs. Beth Lappe is available to
students throughout the day and during the daily 40-minute Academic Lab.
!
Elective course offerings in Family and Consumer Science and
Industrial Technology (computerized Mechanical Drawing, Drafting
and Engineering) set Trinity Catholic apart from many other Catholic
schools. Industrial Technology students work on the CAD (Computer
Aided Drafting) software that is used in colleges and universities and in
professional work settings. The ability to learn this software in high
school places Trinity Catholic students at a distinct advantage in
college and beyond. Robotics is currently taught in Industrial
Technology..
!
Other electives include Business, Media, Art, Band and Choir, Drama
and Computer Science.

Students must also participate in an overnight
retreat senior year, complete the 100 hour

Semester grades are a combination of two quarter grades and a semester exam grade. Percentages are used to compute semester averages. Credits are earned when a passing grade is achieved for each course (semester course - .5 credit/full-year course - 1 credit).
!
Grades are based on a four-point system. The grade points are: A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1; F=0.
Courses offered at college level and for college credit (ACC, AP, ACP) are given an honors point (1.0) for a passing grade. Grade points for these weighted classes are A=5; B=4; C=3; D=2; F=0.
!
!
A student's class rank is based solely upon the grade point average for all semesters from the beginning of ninth grade. The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the grade points earned by the number of credits attempted within a grading period.
8 3
Honor Roll/Graduation Honors
The Honor Roll is a means of recognizing a student’s academic
achievement each quarter. Students with a GPA of 3.250 or higher
(weighted) are on the honor roll. Students may not have an academic
grade of D+, D, D- or F in the current quarter. Students may not have a
conduct grade of U in the current quarter.
!
All graduation honors are calculated at the end of the third quarter
during senior year. The honor of Valedictorian is awarded to the
student with the highest cumulative grade point average. The
Salutatorian recognizes the student with the second highest
cumulative GPA. Other graduation honors are also based on GPA.
Summa cum laude, awarded for a cumulative GPA of 3.90 and above
(weighted). Magna cum laude, awarded for a cumulative GPA from
3.75 to 3.89. Cum laude, awarded for a cumulative GPA of 3.40- 3.74
Report Cards/On-Line Grading
Report cards are issued four times each year and can be downloaded through FAMILY ACCESS ON-LINE
GRADING. The report card is the official notification of grades and credits earned. Students and parents are
able and encouraged to view all grade reports, including grades for individual assignments in specific classes,
through the Family Access link on the Trinity Catholic website. This resource provides the opportunity for
students and parents to have ongoing information and conversations about student progress. Each parent/
guardian and student will receive a specific password to access the site.

Academic Lab
Academic Lab is a 40 minute period (12:31-1:11 p.m.) each day during which no classes are scheduled. The
purpose of Academic Lab is to promote student achievement and responsibility. During this time all teachers,
support staff, counselors and the learning consultant are available for academic assistance and student support.
Academic Lab is intended to encourage curricular projects, academic collaboration among students and teachers
and extended classroom learning.
Students must plan ahead and make Academic Lab appointments with teachers before the beginning of
the first lunch period each day.
Academic Lab is an extension of Trinity Catholic’s academic program and preserves class time by providing
flexible time during the week for activities including: making up school work, reading and studying, making up
missed quizzes, tests or lab activities with teacher approval, meeting with the guidance counselor or learning
consultant, getting individualized help from a subject area teacher and using media, computer labs and the
Library Media Center for academic or school related activities

1 to 1 iPad Mini Initiative continues to evolve
The 2014-2015 school year is the second year for the Trinity Catholic 1 to1 iPad Mini Initiative. Last year all
students used an iPad Mini in the classroom and the results were overwhelmingly positive.
!
The new devices further enhanced the Trinity Catholic commitment to remain state of the art in the area of
technology and exposed the students to 21st century learning. A true 21st century environment is digital and our
students are living in that environment. Our goal is to ensure we provide both teaching and learning experiences
that fully engage our students and give them the opportunity to extend their classrooms beyond pages of books
and walls of a school building. Trinity Catholic students not only have the opportunity to use the iPad Mini in
the classroom setting, they have full access to the device in the evenings and weekends and even throughout the
summer months.
!
A new addition to the devices this year is eBackpack which will be a tremendous tool for both teachers and
students. Among other features, eBackpack helps students organize their work with electronic files for each
class and will serve as a tool for teachers and students to share work electronically.
!
In order to maintain educational control, Trinity Catholic purchases the iPad Minis and families lease the
devices over a four-year period. The iPad Mini fee is $160 per year for three years. The fourth year there is a
$25 buyout in order to keep the device after graduation.
!
The iPad Mini Fee and the Registration Fee for the following school year must be paid each spring in order
for the students to keep the iPad Mini over the summer.

Athletic Programs
Athletic programs at Trinity are an important extension of the classroom. While the thrill of victory is
always the goal, lessons learned in defeat can be just as important in the development of young people.
Teamwork, cooperation, sacrifice, determination and hard work are just a few of the character traits Trinity
Catholic student-athletes learn as part of the 14 athletic programs and 26 individual teams.
Trinity Catholic competes in the small school division of the Archdiocesan Athletic Association which also
includes Lutheran-St. Charles, Christian-O’Fallon, John F. Kennedy, Bishop DuBourg and Cardinal Ritter
College Prep. The large school division of the AAA consists of St. Dominic, St. Francis Borgia, Duchesne, St.
Mary’s, Notre Dame and Rosati-Kain. Trinity Catholic is a member of the Missouri State High School
Activities Association (MSHSAA).
Trinity Catholic teams have won 28 district championships in 11 years. The boys soccer teams has
advanced to the state championship game four times and the girls soccer team has been a state finalist twice. In
addition, wrestlers, boys track athletes and a golfer have qualified for state competition. Rarely do teams have
to “cut” players meaning better opportunities for athletes to continue playing the sports they love at the high
school level.
Titan teams are led by a dedicated and experienced group of coaches headed up by Athletic Director and
boys and girls soccer coach Vince Drake. Drake has been named to numerous local and national halls of fame
and currently owns the most high school soccer coaching victories in the nation. Drake has won 12 state
championships (11 boys and one girls) in his distinguished coaching career.
All student-athletes and cheerleaders pay a $125 Athletic Fee prior to the first game or match of the first
sport they play each year. This fee is for the entire school year regardless of the number of sports they play.

* Fundraising Fee - Each Trinity Catholic family is required to pay a $300 Fundraising Fee in August that covers
all fundraising efforts for the school year. This fee eliminates the need for all-school fundraisers such as pizza or
candy sales, raffles, etc. When the fee is paid each family is given 80 raffle tickets for the Trinity Treasures
Dinner Auction raffle in October. Families may then sell the tickets and keep the money raised from the sale of
the tickets. If a family sells all 80 tickets they will make $400 total. Families may also opt to put their name on
the tickets and enter the tickets in the drawing. The drawing is done at the dinner auction each October.
!
The Fundraising Fee is $300 per family not $300 per student.
