School

Leadership

Trinity is helmed by an administrative team consisting of the Principal, Vice-Principal/Director of Academics, Vice-Principal/Director of Activities, and Dean of Students. Trinity is a diocesan school, and enjoys the support and guidance of the Diocese of Harrisburg. Trinity also benefits from an active Board of Directors, composed of local pastors and laypersons. The House System also provides additional layers of both adult and student leadership. Each of Trinity’s four Houses is led by a faculty member and student-leader team. The entire House System benefits from the oversight of a Director.
