I was at Trinity Lutheran School from 1975 to 2000. I began as a classroom teacher and completed my tenure as Head of School. Trinity is memorable for me not because it is a beautiful structure, but for the people who chose to worship and work there each day. I have no connection with the very early years of the school, but I do know that many members of
By Mary Langhill A few years ago when our daughter was entering 4th grade, we decided we wanted her to go to a Christian school. We did some research, took some tours, and even had her take advantage of shadow programs. During this process, a Trinity family talked to us about their daughter’s school experiences and showed us pictures of her recent trip to England– yes, England. And
Every kid loves a good birthday celebration, and at Trinity Lutheran School, special care is given to recognize students on their birthdays.

A combined chapel service for the entire TLS family was held during our first week of 2019 to address the
In an uncertain world, TLS wants to be certain about the safety of students and their families. Over the Christmas break, the first phase of several safety/security upgrades planned for 2019 was completed. These improvements included multiple reinforced doors and a new door/barrier off the school foyer. This setup allows staff to cordon off the classroom section of the school during an emergency or lockdown event. In early January, several

We began school-wide morning announcements this week. This was a major purchase (thanks to YOU in our Towne Bank Parent’s Campaign!) as we upgraded our routers around the building and included speakers on each unit. Each day at 8:05, our 7th graders broadcast to the whole school. They share upcoming school events, student’s birthdays, TLS sports results, a thought for the day, etc. Then we recite the Pledge of Allegiance
