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. The school allows attendance of Catholic and non-Catholic alike, to take part in an advanced learning institution. The Super Cities Walk for Multiple Sclerosis held Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Simcoe raised over 57 thousand dollars.[4] An electric heater started a small fire in one of the school portable extensions causing about one thousand dollars damage.[5] Amanda Harrop a student from Holy Trinity Catholic High School was the recipient of the Mabel O'Brian scholarship.[6]

[edit] Technology
Holy Trinity has been at the leading edge of technology in Canadian high schools since its opening. The technology department at Holy Trinity consists of Communication, Construction, Cosmetology, Design/Drafting, Manufacturing, Culinary Arts and Transportation. Some of the cutting-edge technology includes:
- Haas CNC Milling Machine[7]
- AXYZ CNC Router
- iMac G5 Computers with Final Cut Studio and Logic Pro software
- Daily televised announcements from the school television network (Trinity Vision Network)[7]. This is also available online and in a video podcast.
- Extensive transportation (automotive) shop
- Cosmetology course teaching hairstyling and aesthetics[7][8]
[edit] Athletics
The secondary school is represented in many different intermural sports as the Holy Trinity Titans. Titan teams include swimming, soccer, rugby, track and field, badminton, tug-o-war, golf, basketball, hockey, tennis, cheerleading, volleyball, cross-country, football and rowing. Holy Trinity did fundraising in the 2006-2007 school year to raise enough money to start a football team for the school. They were successful in their attempt and the team played their first game in September 2007[9].
[edit] Expansion of Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity has become so popular since its opening in September 2001 that an addition was built on the South side of the school and was ready for September 2007.[3] The school was built for less than 1000 students and the current enrolment has well exceeded that capacity. The addition consists of ten classrooms added to the southwest corner of the school[10] plus a food services classroom and conference room. The addition was required because the school had overcrowded hallways and twelve portables in September 2006. John Burroughs, the principal, expects that enrolment will peak in the next few years after 2006. 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.
