Elementary & Middle School Life

Holy Trinity offers K-8th grade instruction. The Elementary and Middle School operate in separate sections of the campus and use different class schedules to ensure that peer to peer student interactions prevail on a comparable age basis.

Every day, Holy Trinity School starts off with the morning announcements. The student council members lead the students in the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer, followed by important events of the day. These events include birthdays and sports practices or victories from a previous game.

Middle schoolers have science three times a week with Mr. Vanderploeg, Spanish twice a week with Doctor Kennedy, computer class four times a week with Mrs. Sulentor and Mrs. Basura, and P.E. with Mrs. Piper and music with Mrs. DiRocco once a week.

We also have Art-to-Grow-On, which is an art class that is held a few times a year. Students learn how to paint, sculpt, and draw. Fridays are spirit days, which means students wear any Holy Trinity pride shirt, such as a Holy Trinity sports jersey or Holy Trinity tee-shirt.

On Tuesdays, students participate in T.A.G. (Talented and Gifted). In T.A.G., students are placed into various groups and go to a classroom to learn a certain subject. The subjects are science, newspaper, math, art appreciation, calligraphy, chess, and decathlon. At the beginning of each year,the sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Wilson, devotes her T.A.G. time to direct a sixth grade play.  

Every week at Holy Trinity is filled with various activities for students with different interests. The student body dresses casually for two dollars. During the year every class is involved in a service project.

At Holy Trinity, each and every student takes Physical Education (PE) at least once a week. Mrs. Piper teaches Kindergarten through second grade and sixth through eighth grade; Mrs. DiLeva teaches third through fifth grade.

I asked Mrs. DiLeva what is your favorite part about teaching PE at Holy Trinity?

“My favorite part is being with the students and watching them excel and grow throughout the years.  I love the wide varieties of activities they work on throughout the school year.  the students participate in many games including baseball, basketball, football, kickball, dodgeball, and a wide variety of cardiovascular activities such as tag.”

I asked student Teddy Smith what makes PE at Holy Trinity special?

“PE at HT is special because everyone plays together and Mrs. DiLeva includes everyone.”
