Trinity Catholic High School was established in 2003 in the proud
tradition of its predecessor high schools - Mercy, St. Thomas
Aquinas, Rosary and St. Thomas Aquinas-Mercy.
Mission Statement
Trinity Catholic High School is a welcoming and caring community
committed to graduating responsible citizens grounded in Christian
values, dedicated to serving others and engaged in life long learning.
Vision Statement
Trinity serves the young men and women in the North County area
and beyond and provides an excellent, comprehensive academic
program that is unmatched in value and strives to be
state-of-the art.
Trinity students are challenged to think critically, live virtuously and
serve joyfully. The diversity of each individual’s talent, intellect,
style and ability is recognized and celebrated.
“Trinity is a great place for anyone looking to receive
a quality education and also have a lot of fun. I
remember as a freshman I used to look forward to
graduating from high school, but now that I am a
senior I can’t imagine my life away from Trinity and
all of the people that are involved with the school.
Trinity has changed my life in the most amazing ways
and I know it will do the same for you if you choose to
attend Trinity.”
Kevin McKenna
Senior

Trinity is a comprehensive, co-educational high school that is fully

Trinity uses a block schedule with periods that are organized in
longer “blocks” of time. The schedule is comprised of eight
blocks, or classes, that meet over a two-day period (A&B days). On
a regular schedule day the blocks are 75-minutes long and allow
for expanded instructional methods such as collaborative
