Originally named Saint Joseph Academy, it was an all-girls school located in the Marymount Convent in Garfield Heights. In 1939, the school's name was changed to Marymount High School to avoid confusion with Saint Joseph Academy in Cleveland.
In 1954, a steadily increasing enrollment led the need for a new high school building, located just to the east of the convent. On September 5, 1957, 470 girls began classes ar to the new Marymount High School facility, which today serves as the main building of the Trinity campus.
In 1973, the all-girl Marymount High School closed and re-opened as coeducational Trinity High School. The school enrolled 335 girls and 46 boys.
The students study a college-prep curriculum including Advanced Placement coursework in subjects such as English, Calculus, History, Spanish, Government and Art. Ninety-five percent of graduating seniors go onto colleges.
There is an emphasis on educational technology. Students have the opportunity to learn web page design, architectural drawing, multimedia, animation, high-end graphic design, video production as part of the curriculum. Trinity’s 26-acre (110,000 m2) campus includes the main school building and several athletic fields.
The school's Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL)[3] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).[4]
