Holy Trinity Catholic High School, colloquially known as "HT", is one of the newest Roman Catholic high schools in Ontario.

The high school is located in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. School uniforms are mandatory during school hours, and courses are conducted in a theological manner. Though it is a Roman Catholic school, the student population has Catholic and non-Catholic components, allowing all to benefit from the courses offered by this advanced learning institution. Students are encouraged to exemplify Canadian values, like the importance of the environment and conservation. Students are also encouraged to think critically on as well as off-campus. Weekly student charities and awareness campaigns cover issues such as domestic violence, local animal shelters, food drives and gift collections. On October 25, 2013, a fire was deliberately set in a girl's first floor washroom. Damage was totaled to be over $75,000. In June 2014, Mr.Humberto Cacilhas was appointed new vice-principal of Holy Trinity to replace Kevin Wendling, beginning September 2014. The Super Cities Walk for Multiple Sclerosis that was held in Simcoe's Holy Trinity Catholic High School raised more than $57,000 in donations.[4][5]

Holy Trinity Catholic High School

The school was founded in September 2001, with an initial enrollment of 750 students.[6] Soon, the school outgrew the main building's original capacity of 1,000 students and an annexe had to be built to accommodate the increase in enrollment. Construction for the annexe began in 2006. John Burroughs, the principal at that time, expected enrollment to peak in the following years. The addition was ready for use in September 2007.[3] Ten classrooms, a food services classroom and a conference room were added to the southwest corner of the school.[7] The addition alleviated the overcrowding that the school was experiencing at that time. Some reasons for the higher-than-expected enrollment at Holy Trinity are state-of-the-art technology equipment, excellent athletic facilities and equipment, and the fact that it is the only Catholic high school in the county.

Amenities

Technology

Holy Trinity has been at the leading edge of technology in Canadian high schools since its opening. The technology department at Holy Trinity consists of Communication, Construction, Cosmetology, Design/Drafting, Manufacturing, Culinary Arts and Transportation. Some of the cutting-edge technology includes:

  • Haas CNC Milling Machine[8]
  • AXYZ CNC Router
  • iMac G5 Computers with Final Cut Studio and Logic Pro software
  • Smart Board, an interactive board which doubles as a computer screen; projectors are required for this board.
  • Daily televised announcements from the school television network (formerly Trinity Vision Network or "TVN", it was renamed to Holy Trinity Television or "HTTV" following a studio update before the 2013-2014 school year).[8] This is also available online and in a video podcast. As of 2013-2014, online streams and podcasts are no longer available.
  • Comprehensive transportation (automotive) shop
  • Cosmetology course teaching hairstyling and aesthetics[8][9]

Athletics

The secondary school is represented in many different intermural sports as the Holy Trinity Titans. Titan teams include swimming, soccer, rugby, track and field, badminton, tug-o-war, golf, basketball, hockey, tennis, cheerleading, volleyball, cross-country, football and rowing.[10] Holy Trinity's fundraising efforts in the 2006-2007 school year successfully raised enough money to start a football team for the school,[11] and the football team played its first game in September 2007.[12][citation needed]
