[edit] Rivalry with L.D. Bell High School

A rivalry exists between Trinity and neighboring L.D. Bell High School. Some commonly used pejorative phrases used by Trinity students to mock their rival school are, "What's that smell?, L.D. Bell!" "L.D. Who?," and "beat Bell." Three Trinity seniors from the class of 1999 pulled a classic prank on their rival. After scaling the walls, they entered L.D. Bell's courtyard where they climbed a tower to steal the 300lb bell. The bell remained in Trinity's possession for a few weeks until police forced the students to give it back. Currently the Trinity football team has an 8 game winning streak against Bell, beating them the past 8 years.
