Trinity's office will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays this summer. The office will be closed on Fridays.

All students will be dismissed at 10:50 a.m. on Monday, June 6, and Tuesday, June 7, after final examinations. (Students who test with Mr. Spogli may be a little longer.) Additionally, all students will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday, June 8, as this is the last day of school for the year. 

With the beginning of the auditorium construction, all students will need to use the busport doors during morning arrival and dismissal for the remainder of the school year. Please drop your student(s) off nearest these doors, as equipment and construction crews will be onsite outside of the auditorium and gym entrances. Any students that have practice or weight training after school are to meet in the cafeteria and await a coach to be escorted to the locker room or weight room.

Thank you to the administration, faculty, staff, students, parents, and alumni for blessing my life here at Trinity High School! As I leave, I carry with me so many special memories. You have been my family, and I am very grateful for all of you! Please know that I will think of you and keep you in prayer. "May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you,

Blessings and Peace,

The final examination schedule is as follows:

Monday, June 6--Social Studies and Foreign Languages

Tuesday, June 7--English and Math

All exams will be completed by 10:45 a.m. each day, and students will be dismissed after their last exam. Students who do not have a second exam may leave the building or wait for their rides in the cafeteria, but they may not move around the building. Some students may have a conflict (for example, two math or two science exams), in which case they will need to sit for one exam from 10:45 to 11:45 a.m. Students who receive accommodations and test with Mr. Spogli will likely remain past 10:45 a.m., staying as late as 11:45 a.m.

We expect all students to be present for all exam days. Requests for family trip days cannot be honored during final exam days. Students who are ill will need to complete their missed exams upon their return to school. Failure to complete final exams may result in incompletes or failing grades for the school year. Remote students are asked to come to school to complete their exams in person.

Freshmen and sophomores can find a "How to Prepare for Finals" guide here to help them prepare appropriately for their exams.

Monday, June 6--final examinations

Tuesday, June 7--final examinations

Wednesday, June 8--dismissal at 11:45 a.m.

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."

--John 20:19-23

Jesus sends us out in the world with his peace and the Holy Spirit. When we live out our love of Christ and his love for us, we experience his peace. By receiving the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to live the call of the Christian life to love God and one another.

May you walk with God this summer in whatever you do wherever you go.

Walking with God means...walking with honesty and with courage, walking with love and respect and concern for the feelings of others. May you talk to God this summer and every day and in every situation.

Talking with God means...praying words of praise for the beauty of creation saying prayers of thanks for friends and good times, asking God's help in all your decisions expressing sorrow when you have failed.

May you talk with God every day. Amen.
