Trinity Catholic High School was a coeducational Roman Catholic high school in Harper Woods, Michigan, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit. Before Bishop Gallagher merged with Saint Florians, it had a checkered past. In earlt 2000 it came out that there were child molestation charges against the high aschool pastor. The family was paid off and it was hushed up. Later when Fr. Beuche was sent to SS Peter & Paul in Washinhton mi, accusations arrose there as well. Fortunately, this time Prosecuting attorney David Corcyca fought for the children and tried to put a stop to sending problem preists to an unsuspecting parish. There are severa Detroit News articles about the trial and websites which maintian a list of those convicted and where they taught.
Ref:http://www.bishop-accountability.org/priestdb/PriestDBbylastName-B.html The school formed in the fall of 2002 as a merger between St. Florian High School in Hamtramck and Bishop Gallagher High School in Harper Woods. Pat Domagala, the principal of St. Florian, said that schools decided to merge because both were university preparatory schools and therefore had elements in common, and because Bishop Gallagher needed additional students and St. Florian needed additional programs.[1]
In 2005 the school had 163 students. Glenn Marshall, a parent quoted in the Detroit Free Press, said that most of the students at Trinity Catholic came from Detroit.[2] During that year, the archdiocese announced that Trinity would close.[3] Richard Laskos, the spokesperson for the archdiocese, said that the closing was irreversible. Even so, several parents struggled to find ways to keep the school open.[2]
