"Holy Trinity has been our family’s second home for 22 straight years! Our five children have been blessed with strong academics and standards of excellence while being able to live their faith every day. The foundations set at HTS allowed our children to attend and excel at Mount St Mary’s and St Joseph’s high schools and to thrive at universities and careers. Our youngest continues to be fully engaged with a safe in-school experience during these difficult days. Thank you to the best administration and teachers we could have asked for our children, and lifelong friends."
