From the Principal...
I wanted to provide an update regarding our search for a new history teacher. We were successful in finding a qualified candidate and are happy to announce Mr. Mike LaRusso as the newest member to the TCHS family. He is a certified social studies teacher (026) with a Masters in Education and substantial history of working with high school students. Mr. LaRusso is working closely with Mr. Punturiero during this transition to ensure that our students hit the ground running for the second semester.
Sincerely,
Mr. Williams

Mike Walsh Honored...
 On January 20, 2017, before the West Hill HS vs Trinity Catholic boys varsity basketball game, we took the time to honor Coach Mike Walsh. The occasion was for his 600th win which he achieved on Tuesday, January 3, 2017.
Mike was presented with a city proclamation making January 20, 2017 "Mike Walsh Day" in the city of Stamford. Along with the proclamation a trophy was presented to Mike that will remain in the school's trophy case.
Mike is only 1 or 5 people to reach 600 wins in any sport in Connecticut. As new principal Dave Williams said..."We "Thank" Mike for his years of service, this feat may not be matched for time."
Thanks Mike for all you do.

Catholic Schools Week...
Trinity Catholic High School will be joining catholic schools around the country next week in celebrating Catholic Schools Week. The 2017 theme is
"
Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service."
The theme encompasses several concepts that are at the heart of a Catholic education. First, schools are communities-small families in their own right, but also members of the larger community of home, church, city and nation. Faith, knowledge and service are three measures by which any Catholic school can and should be judged.
The logo features a swirl of colors interacting around a cross, which is at the center of all Catholic education. The vibrancy of the colors and the movement and shadows in the logo portray the inner-connectivity and community life that are present in our Catholic schools.
Trinity Catholic High School will be celebrating Catholic Schools Week in a number of special ways:
Monday Jan 30
Eucharistic Adoration (at St Gabriel's Church)
Period D - Freshmen & Sophomores
