As eArly As 1963, members of Trinity Presbyterian Church began studying the possibility of organizing a Christian day school. After many meetings, surveys, and prayer, Trinity Presbyterian school was incorporated on February 10, 1970. For the first two years, the school met in Trinity Church’s education building while a permanent location was sought.
Trinity purchased fifteen acres off Perry Hill Road in November of 1971 at a cost of $45,000. Construction of a new road to the school location and for the foundation of the school began in January 1972. Under the leadership of architect Pat Williams and builder Jack Noble, the ambitious undertaking of constructing a school in such a short time began. Mr. Noble is on record as saying, “he truly could not have built the school in three and a half months, but the Lord could and did, so Glory be to God!”
Trinity Presbyterian School, located at 1700 East Trinity Boulevard, opened its doors on September 18, 1972, to 435 students in grades K-11. Growth in enrollment and programs prompted many additions to the campus over the next 50 years. Trinity now occupies 32 acres, and houses outstanding academic, fine arts, and athletic spaces.
TRINITY IS BLESSED WITH A RICH HISTORY AND HERITAGE— A STRONG FOUNDATION.

50 yeArs in The MAking encompasses multiple phases focusing on renovations within the school, addressing specific areas around our campus that deserve immediate attention and upgrades. It will take the collective effort of everyone in the Trinity Family, including faculty, staff, trustees, parents, alumni, past parents, grandparents, and friends, to make this happen.
A multi-phased approach will allow for prioritization of our goals to meet the most pressing needs first, in a way that will have the greatest immediate impact on our students’ learning environment while meeting the challenges of the future with confidence. Although our campaign is prioritized into three phases, as funds become available or designated gifts for specific projects are received, projects will elevate to a priority level. With gratitude, Phase I is now completed and funded.
