Happy Catholic Schools Week

Happy Catholic Schools Week. This is the week that Catholic Schools stop to celebrate the things that make us great. As I stated two years ago, "What makes us different, makes us special". We are able to provied a high quality safe education for our students with it's foundation based in our Catholic Faith. I am proud of being a part of Catholic Education and for being a part of HT. Come and join us for donuts on Friday before school. We were fortunate enough to have Bishop LaVoir celebrate mass with us today. We are grateful that he is so supportive of Catholic Education. Thanks to everyone for your support of HT.

Catholic Schools are Safe!

In this months NCEA publication it talks about reasons people choose to sent their children to Catholic Schools.
More often than not, surveys reveal a key reason given is the school is safe--meaning the school provides a safe environment for students and teachers.
At the Heart of the Catholic Faith is the profound understanding of the dignity of every human person, the person "made in the image of God". Our fatih teaches us we are religious beings by nature, that God loves us and all people are made in communion.
Pretty good thoughts. We work each day to make Holy Trinity a safe environment for our students and staff. This is an expectation for ourselves.

NWEA Test Results

Holy Trinity uses the NWEA test to monitor our students educational progress. These tests help the school and the students see where their strengths and weaknesses are in their learning. We use this data to help make changes and adjustments in our curriculum to help our students be as successful as they can be. We test our second through tenth grade students in the fall and spring in Math, Reading, and Language Usage. Our students do very well on this test. Ninety two percent of our student in grades 7-10 students performed At or Above the National Average in Language Usage. In Math eighty three percent of the students scored At or Above the National Average, and eighty percent of our students scores At or Above the National Average in Language Usage. This a great accomplishment and a great testament to our great students and staff at Holy Trinity. Keep up the good work.
