Trinity High School is a Catholic, all boys, college preparatory high school located in St. Matthews, Kentucky, a city within Louisville Metro (consolidated city/county government). Trinity first opened its doors in 1953, when Archbishop John Floersh anticipated the growth of Louisville's eastern suburbs by choosing the site of Holy Trinity School, a former Roman Catholic church and grade school in St. Matthews. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville. The school incorporates the Catholic tradition of teaching and learning. The school campus comprises about 1,400 students. Trinity has been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, has been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and is nationally recognized.
The Trinity Campus expanded in 2004 to include Duerr Hall. Other buildings which adorn the Trinity Campus include Old Trinity, Flaget, Floersh, Sheehan, Communication Arts Center, Trinity Auditorium, R.W. Marshall Sports Center, Steinhauser Gymnasium and Shamrock Hall. In 2001, Trinity became the first local school to adopt a system of ten "Houses" named after saints and noted Catholic thinkers, including Aquinas, Becket, Dante, Flannan, Gonzaga, Merton, Patrick, Romero, Seton and Toussaint. The Houses organize the student body into ten different groups which compete in numerous extracurricular activities, involve nearly 100 students in leadership opportunities as House captains or representatives and build upon school spirit.
The House System is a way for students to make friends, and get connected and involved in the fabric of the school right away. Examples of House activities include: marquee events; basketball, volleyball, ultimate frisbee and softball intramurals; PS2 tournaments; art, essay, speech, trivia and other academically oriented contests. In 2005 the Toussaint Monarchs won the House cup just ahead of the Becket Titans, becoming the first House to win two House cups. To date, Trinity has been visited by more than two dozen schools from around the nation to learn more about the unique initiative. The class of 2007 collectively earned more than $19 million in merit scholarships and was Trinity's 51st graduating class.
