Message from the Principal:

       It is a humble heart and a love for Catholic Education that I bring to the position of principal at Holy Trinity School.  As a lifelong learner educated in Catholic Schools, as well as the mother of four children educated in Catholic Education, I consider it a privilege to be part of providing a Catholic Education to our youth.  I am grateful to all of the families who have entrusted their children to our care, and I admire the teachers and staff who have chosen to make sacrifices to stay in Catholic Education.  I am here to serve you, look forward to meeting you, and am devoted to the mission of Holy Trinity School.  The 2009-2010 school year promises to be an exciting one!

                                                Sincerely,

                                                Mrs. Elaine A. McDowell

Principal’s Philosophy

       I believe education should be viewed as an opportunity to create life-long learners.  Every year in the life of a child’s education needs to be viewed as a journey in and of itself with goals to reach and standards to be achieved.  Then, each year should be viewed as part of a process in educating the whole child—with the emphasis on the final outcome of a child grounded emotionally, socially, academically, and spiritually.  When a child leaves an elementary school, they should be equipped with the skills to approach the next level, the enthusiasm to encounter change, and the confidence to anticipate success.
