College Partnerships Guarantee Admission to Trinity Students
Trinity is pleased to announce partnerships with the following Catholic colleges and universities: King's College, Immaculata University, Misericordia Univeristy, and Mount St. Mary's University. Trinity has secured agreements that allow Trinity students who meet certain requirements to be guaranteed admission and a four-year scholarship to these institutions, including entry into the engineering and physician's assistant at King's, and doctor of physical therapy, doctor of occupational therapy, and master of speech-language pathology at Misericordia. Our hope is to reduce stress for our students and their families by guaranteeing them admission to a number of quality Catholic institutions where they will be taught body, mind, and spirit.

House System
This year marks the start of the House System at Trinity High School. Trinity now has four Houses--De La Salle, Immaculata, Loyola, and Seton--that have been named after saints who have been involved in Trinity's history and mission in some way, or in Catholic education in America. All students and staff have been sorted into Houses, and the Houses will compete over the course of the year for a House Cup.
The House System replaces some of the structures you may remember from your time as a student, including Student Council, PALs, and homeroom, and instead relies on leadership within each House and Mentor Group to develop community, plan events, and provide support to students. Mentor Groups are made of up students from all four grades and meet in the middle of each day and function as sort of a "home base" for students. Students and faculty alike are excited about the enthusiasm that's come from this shift and look forward to the future as this system grows at Trinity in the coming years!

Service Trip to Jamaica
Sister Susan Kuk, IHM, and several alumnae traveled to Jamaica this summer to provide a week of service.
Jenna Archer-Barone '17, Rachel Bogdanoff '17, Maria Carroll '18, Ashley Dean '17, Noelle Dominguez '17, Reilly Johnson '17, Maddie Jones '18, Noelle Konchar '18, Maddie Montefour '18,
and
Rebecca Mott '17
ran a summer camp--creating crafts, playing sports, and helping the children with reading and math. The Trinity group also supplied lunch for more than 80 children in Avocot and 40 children in Port Antonio and visited some of the sick parishioners in the mountain area, including an 84-year-old woman, "Ms. Maddie," who lives in a hut with no water or electricity and must carry water to her home from the river. Thank you to all the generous members of the Trinity community who helped support the trip. We are collecting children's swimsuits and any kind of building blocks (Legos, etc.) to take next year. If you have anything you'd like to donate, bring it to Trinity.
