In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

-John 1:1

The new year is filled with opportunity; my hope is that all HTCS families have a faith-filled year with an abundance of love and laughter.

This first semester has come and gone, and we only have a few short months to finish the many things we set out to accomplish this year. Our commitment at HTCS is teaching and modeling Catholic Christian morals and values by creating a safe, caring, and respectful environment that supports academic excellence while fostering a love for learning. To accomplish this mission takes the work of our entire school community.

We are so proud of our students and their hard work up to this point; however, we must remember that there is still a lot of work to be done in preparation for successfully completing the 2022-2023 school year. We must quickly get back into our daily routines and we rely on you to encourage our students, to ensure students arrive on time for class every day, and to ensure that all homework is completed and returned to school.

Our school families are key to the success of our amazing school. We have our biggest fundraiser of the year in a few short weeks, and we need now more than ever for everyone to get involved in Coastal Charm to ensure it is a success. This year our Coastal Charm event will be held on February 4th and will help support our new STEM program and safety upgrades to our campus.

Please get involved in our wonderful PTO today!

This year, the students of Holy Trinity Catholic School were given the opportunity to give back. Father Jacob Matthew Smith gave each grade $40, and with this $40 they were to find a way to make a difference. The teachers let the students decide where their money would go. Our students were excited and took this opportunity very seriously. Many of our classes adopted angels and families in need.

We are so blessed to have this opportunity to help make a difference, and we could not be more thankful for Father Jacob’s contribution and for our amazing students and faculty.

Chorus

Holy Trinity, Father, Spirit, Son

We come together here as one

To pray, to learn, and to grow

In the loving kindness that you know.

Come with us to work and play together

We are all a part of one big family,

In a school filled with joy, spirit, peace

Our love will grow as you can see.

Repeat Chorus

Sharing God’s love as a community

Each day we work to build a unity

Caring and loving others as we go

Just as Jesus taught us years ago.

Repeat Chorus
