Holy Trinity Catholic High School, colloquially known as "HT", is one of the newest Roman Catholic high schools in Ontario.

The high school is located in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. School uniforms are mandatory during school hours, and courses are conducted in a theological manner. Though it is a Roman Catholic school, the student population has Catholic and non-Catholic components, allowing all to benefit from the courses offered by this advanced learning institution. Students are encouraged to exemplify Canadian values, such as the importance of the environment and conservation. Students are also encouraged to think critically on and off-campus. Weekly student charities and awareness campaigns cover issues such as domestic violence, local animal shelters, food drives and gift collections. On October 25, 2013, a fire was deliberately set in a girl's first floor washroom. Damage was totaled to be over $75,000. The Super Cities Walk for Multiple Sclerosis held in Simcoe's Holy Trinity Catholic High School raised more than $57,000 in donations for Multiple Sclerosis.[4][5]

Expansion

Holy Trinity Catholic High School

The school was founded in September 2001, with an initial enrollment of 750 students.[6] The school outgrew the main building's original capacity of 1,000 students and an annex was built to accommodate the increase in enrollment. Construction for the annex began in 2006. John Burroughs, the principal at that time, expected enrollment to peak in the following years. The addition was ready for use in September 2007 [3] with ten classrooms, a food services classroom and a conference room in the southwest corner of the school.[7] The addition alleviated the overcrowding that the school was experiencing at that time. Some reasons for the higher-than-expected enrollment at Holy Trinity are state-of-the-art technology equipment, excellent athletic facilities and equipment, and the fact that it is the only Catholic high school in the county.

Amenities

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:

Athletics

The secondary school is represented in many different intramural 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.[10] Holy Trinity's fundraising efforts in the 2006-2007 school year successfully raised enough money to start a football team for the school.[11] The football team played its first game in September 2007.[12]
