ADMISSIONS POLICY

Any student who is successfully completing the 8th or 9th grades may apply for admission to Trinity High School. Interested families should contact the admissions director, Admissions Office at 668-2910, ext. 18.

Students applying to transfer into the 10th or 11th grades are evaluated on an individual basis. Transfers into the 12th grade are rarely approved.

Every Trinity student is admitted on a probationary status for one semester so as to allow the school an opportunity to assess its ability to meet the student's needs.

Students whose financial accounts are in arrears to another Catholic school in the Diocese of Manchester will not be enrolled at Trinity High School.

Note: Trinity does not implement 504 plans or Individual Education Plans. However, the school provides guidance in study/organizational skills for students whose skills are identified by the school as requiring further development.

Applicants with current IEP's and 504 plans are assessed on an individual basis.

For more information, contact Patrick Smith, admissions director, at
psmith@trinity-hs.org or at 668-2910, ext. 18.
