Everyone in Holy Trinity lives by the motto, "Treat your peers and teachers with equity, dignity and respect." (Aresta)
[edit] Feeder Schools
Elementary schools whose graduates are expected to come to Holy Trinity include St.John, Our Lady of Peace, St. Marguerite d'Youville, Holy Family, St.Michael and St. Andrews.
Holy Trinity holds multiple feeder school athletic tournaments throughout the year in sports including volleyball, basketball, and track and field. They also hold these tournaments for their fellow High Schools.
By the way, there is also the new and improved Skeet team, which includes power shots, long distance, rapid succession and endurance competitions. There is also a Cheer Team, which consists entirely of Grade 9&10 students. This has nothing at all to do with the culture festival.
[edit] Controversy
Throughout its short history, Holy Trinity has almost been lit ablaze (through a flaming bathroom stall incident), and has been victim to random acts of graffiti.
Holy Trinity was the subject of a prom prank in June of 2005. Students placed blowup dolls on the goal posts, duct taped the doors, and threw eggs at the school. It was Trinity's first major grad prank. The most recent was a spray paint on the North side of the school that said, "Fuck Trinity" and had the symbol for Hezbollah above it.
Recently Holy Trinity gained a new Vice Principal, Mr. Vince Aresta. He has been hated by many students, due to his strict nature and outlook on how a school is supposed to look. He has been booed in school assemblies, and his rules have been questioned by many students and teachers alike.
Everyone enjoys the novel "the dress code" read at the beginning of every civies day over the announcements by esteemed Vice Principle, Mr. Aresta, who believes blue is a gang colour. Mr. Aresta also has a very nice suit and a kick-ass tie.
