The History of the Trinity Society
The Trinity Society of Maryvale honors alumnae/alumni, parents, grandparents and friends who have included Maryvale in their estate plans.

Why I decided to leave a legacy:
“At Maryvale, I learned something special about myself, and as my legacy, I want to leave something of myself to Maryvale. Through my bequest, I want to provide scholarship funding for the gift of a Maryvale education to a deserving student in the future.”

“My days as a student had a great influence on my life. I grew up on a farm, so spending my days at Maryvale with girls from many different socio-economic backgrounds opened up my world.There were abundant opportunities for me to take risks and hold leadership positions.I support Maryvale through the Trinity Society.I expect my gift to grow with each passing year and make a difference in the life of my beloved school.”
