"Teach them what they need to know for life, but most of all,
teach them to live as good Christians.”
St. Julie Billiart, Foundress Sister of Notre Dame de Namur
As we joyfully begin Trinity School’s 84th year, we continue our mission of making known the goodness of God by cultivating students’ God-given talents through academic, leadership, and service opportunities. Each new school year reaffirms our deep and enduring partnership with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Guided by the Hallmarks, we are honored to carry forward their legacy by teaching students what they need to know for life and how to live as good Christians.
#1 We proclaim by our lives even more than by our words that God is good.
#2 We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person.
#3 We educate for and act on behalf of justice, peace, and care for all creation.
#4 We commit ourselves to community service.
#5 We embrace the gift of diversity.
#6 We create community among those with whom we work and with those we serve.
#7 We develop holistic learning communities that educate for life.
The Hallmarks, rooted in the Gospel, are the principles and activities of Notre Dame schools and ministries. They provide a practical guide for our students, parents, faculty, and staff as we strive to live our mission and promote the philosophy of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. This year, we will place particular emphasis on Hallmark #7, which invites us to grow not only in academic knowledge, but in faith, compassion, self-awareness, and moral responsibility. As a school, we are called to shape students who are prepared for life—equipped with the critical thinking, values, and integrity needed to lead and serve in today’s world.
Major school initiatives this year include:
We look forward to a year filled with meaningful learning, joyful celebration, and shared service—guided by faith and the Hallmarks. And as always, we are grateful for the collaborative spirit shared by our faculty, staff, students, parents, and the wider community, all of whom play a vital role in nurturing the unique Trinity School community.
Peace –
Ms. K. Marguerite Conley
Head of School
