Trinity also provides frequent updates every week on our official Facebook page.

Our PTFA (Parent Teachers Friends Association) provides parents with an opportunity to participate in many different school-wide events throughout the school year.

School Reviews

As the senior pastor at Trinity I can vouch from the inside that Trinity is an incredible place of learning and love. Trinity is not the first Lutheran school I have worked at, but it is the most outstanding. We have caring teachers who invest in the lives of their students. You will find no better place to ensure that your child grows both academically and spiritually.
Endorse Trinity Lutheran School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
