Holy Trinity Catholic High School is one of the newest Roman Catholic high schools in Ontario. The high school is located in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. Wearing school uniforms during school hours is mandatory, like in most Catholic schools, and courses deal in a theological manner. Despite popular opinion, the school has always allowed the attendance of Catholic and non-Catholic alike, to take part in an advanced learning institution.

Holy Trinity has become so popular since its opening in September 2001 that an addition will be built on the South side of the school to be ready for September 2007. The school was built for less than 1000 students and the current enrolment has well exceeded that capacity. The addition will consist of nine classrooms added to the southwest corner of the school[3] and is required because the school already will have twelve portables in September 2006. John Burroughs, the principal, expects that enrolment will peak in the next few years. Some reasons for the higher than expected enrolment at Holy Trinity since its opening are state-of-the-art technology equipment, excellent athletic facilities/equipment and the fact that it is the only Catholic high school in the county and surrounding area.
