“Doing anything with my team is a great experience, whether it’s practice or a meet. This is a great place to become a better swimmer and an even better person.” Claire M. ’17
Passion to
Play
Claire discovered her passion for swimming as a middle schooler. Two upper school team members mentored her, igniting the drive needed to set two national records in swimming and compete at the Olympic trials her junior year.

& Expression Creation
“Theater lets me express myself in ways I can’t do everyday. It builds my confidence.” Thomas L. ’21 Thomas lights up when he’s on stage. Performing has filled him with confidence, allowing him to lead in student council and serve as an admission ambassador for Trinity Prep. He has earned lead roles in school productions, playing Ebenezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol” and Cowardly Lion in “The Wizard of Oz.” Thomas is as comfortable in the classroom as he is on the baseball field and on stage. Whatever inspires you, our arts faculty members are here to lead.

Learning
Serving through
For 20 years, Trinity Prep students and faculty have dedicated their Saturday mornings to serving their communities. They helped build Habitat for Humanity houses by pounding nails, painting walls and learning how to build homes. Trinity Prep also supports many local and national philanthropic organizations and student service projects. In the past, we have collaborated with United Cerebral Palsy, Breast Cancer Awareness, Toys for Tots and Second Harvest Food Bank.

Prepared for
College
“My counselors guided me through the process and made sure I had all the information to pick a college that was the best fit for me.” Alec H. ’18
The college planning process began Alec’s freshman year. In his junior year, he worked one-on-one with his college counselor to find the college or university that valued his strengths and his passion for athletics, history, volunteerism with the Red Cross and the Young Naturalist Camp at Mead Botanical Gardens. Like all Trinity Prep students, Alec found that special place. In the winter of 2018, he committed to play football at the University of Central Florida. TRINITYPREP.ORG | 12
