Our Mission

The mission of Blessed Trinity School is to foster Christian leadership by witnessing the Gospel message and embracing the stewardship way of life. We strive for moral and academic excellence as we reach out to the community as Christ's disciples.

ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION

 

Any student participating in a sports activity is expected to: 

Exhibit Christ-like character at all times...be a good winner and accept losses with humility Maintain a 2.0/C average at all times. Do their personal best in academics and behavior. Give fully of himself / herself during the practice and games. Be accepting of his/her mistakes. Strive to win without placing undue pressure on self or teammates. Recognize and respect strengths and weaknesses of teammates. Accept the guidance of coaches. Respect the decisions of officials and umpires. Refrain from offensive language and actions.

 

The athletic program is supported by an active Booster Club. Enthusiastic parent/guardian and student attendance at games greatly motivates players and supports the coaches' efforts. Participation is strongly encouraged.

 

 

PARTICIPATION POLICY

All qualified students may try out for membership on sports teams and in extracurricular activities. The school is committed to providing everyone a fair chance to participate. Unfortunately, not everyone who tries out can be accepted. The decision of the coach, in conjunction with the athletic director and principal is final. Ordinarily, the principal will not intervene in non-selection decisions, unless the decision is arbitrary and capricious. Parents are encouraged to help their children understand that not everyone will be selected. 6
