Trinity received a letter from the Iowa High School Athletic Association congratulation us for being among the 57% of Iowa high schools who had zero player, coach, or fan ejections during the 2021-2022 athletic seasons. Let’s enjoy another season of good sportsmanship in 2022-2023.

We welcome Mr. Mike De Jager as our new athletic director. He brings a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm to our athletic program. Let’s give him good support by helping as we are able at home games.
