Trinity prepares its diverse student body for the challenges of college and life.
Trinity first opened its doors in 1953, when Archbishop John Floersh anticipated the growth of Louisville's eastern suburbs by choosing the site of Holy Trinity School, a former Catholic church and grade school in St. Matthews. That first freshman class numbered 106 students. With the Catholic tradition of teaching and learning firmly embedded in the buildings that became Trinity, the school is now more like a small college campus comprising about 1,400 students.
Trinity prepares its diverse student body for the challenges of college, other forms of post-secondary education and the workforce. Our mission is to provide students with a superior high school education in a supportive atmosphere based upon Christian values in the Catholic tradition.
Trinity is a Catholic high school which admits young men of any race, religion, color, nationality and/or ethnic origin to all of the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color or national and ethnic origin, or disability (if with reasonable accommodation the student can meet the requirements of Trinity’s course of study) in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and aid programs or other school-administered programs.
The Archdiocese of Louisville sponsors the school, which is governed by a board of directors representing a broad cross-section of the community. The United States Department of Education has recognized Trinity as a School of Excellence. Trinity is accredited by AdvancED, the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is a member of the National Catholic Educational Association.
Choosing Trinity is a choice of values. Flowing from our Catholic tradition, our Code of Conduct is built upon the values of courtesy, honesty, respect and cooperation. Trinity faculty and staff work to see that our graduates instill these core values for life. Trinity’s disciplined environment allows teachers to maximize their teaching and students to maximize learning. Classes function in an orderly environment with very few distractions and students are held to the highest possible expectations.
We remain dedicated to the idea that all students, regardless of academic background and ability, have a right to an education suited to their needs and aspirations. To date, more than 13,500 young men have earned a Trinity diploma.
