Something for Everyone

Trinity offers a host of diverse clubs, organizations and extracurricular activities designed to meet the interests of students. With over 30 student-led clubs, there is something for everyone. From traditional clubs like Shields in Service, which orchestrates community service opportunities, to our Society for Science, there are dozens of ways for students to get involved in on-campus organizations. And if a student has a particular passion, they can investigate beginning a new club to share their gifts with the greater community. Participation in a club or student organization is another way for students at Trinity to Discover their Paths.

Our world language clubs (Spanish, Latin, and French) offer a variety of cultural experiences to help students delve deeper into other cultures. Activities include an annual international film festival that has transported viewers around the world for over 20 years, a tricycle race that defies the laws of physics, and food celebrations to please every palate.

There are multiple clubs geared toward exploring different perspectives, be that cultural, political, or with a focus on faith.  All Trinity clubs meet during our Discovery period in the middle of the school day, so every student has access regardless of their schedule. Clubs are an important part of the fabric of the school and a way for students to connect with others both locally and globally.

Students and faculty can sign up at the beginning of each season for the opportunity to perform anything from a single song during “open mic” days to full on electric rock sets and beyond. Pach’s Place provides an informal yet professional venue for students to show their musical talents, collaborate, and experience the thrill of live performance in a fun and welcoming environment. The concerts are supported technically by a volunteer student sound crew who help set up, run, and break down a full audio PA system for each show. The concert series and the sound crew alike are open to interested students of any grade.
