School Reviews

I loved attending this school. I can testify that putting effort into relationships with staff at this school will be worth it. As a freshman, I did not care to create these relationships, but by junior/ senior year I had met some amazing people. The lead teacher, Mrs. Groves, is amazing. She always welcomed me with open arms, along with a few others on campus. The administration is also kind, though I feel that some situations could be handled differently or more attentively, that is just my opinion. I have met staff members (teachers) that I felt did not care about their students genuinely, so it was a challenge to learn. That is why I give Trinity high school four stars. The counselors are also the best! They are very knowledgeable and have never steered me wrong. After gaining a stable RCC representative I all students have awesome resources available.
