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
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.
