school shootings, administrators are compelled to redefine school safety to include an increased focus on school security. Trask committed to assist with physical campus security upgrades. On Friday, June 2, Trask presented interim headmaster, Rev. Joe Lawrence, with a generous check to offset the expense of this initiative.

“We view our charge to protect our families from both internal and external threats as a sacred responsibility,” HTCCS Director of Operations Minnie Bullock said in a news release. “We are committed to proactive prevention and diligent response training.”

In April HTCCS launched a renewed security improvement initiative. The first step was to enlist the service of Mark Cobb of Last Stand Defense. Cobb performed a thorough security evaluation, identified opportunities to improve campus safety and submitted detailed recommendations.

Last Stand Defense conducted their first training for Holy Trinity’s faculty and staff on Friday May 26 as a supplement to the Incident Response Training provided by the City of Beaufort Police Department in August 2022. Topics covered in the May training included active shooter response, identification and prevention of internal/external threats and additional training to sup- plement the “Stop the Bleed” training which the Beaufort Fire Department provided for Holy Trinity on March 17. As a result of the gift from Trask, infrastructure upgrades such as additional security cameras, improved barriers and other deterrents will be implemented over the summer.

“The ongoing national conversation regarding school safety is extremely important, but small private schools are sometimes overlooked,” Lawrence said. “George’s generous gift has not only greatly blessed us and enabled us to better safeguard our students and faculty, it also brings private schools more into this important conversation.”
