Rosary              1987

         " I will never forget the Homecoming dance in 1985… It was also the night of Game Six of the World Series between the Cardinals and the Royals. The dance DJ announced that the Cardinals had won the game and the series… However, that was wrong. This was the infamous Don Denkinger blown call at first base game. I was actually in the lobby listening to the KMOX broadcast of the game on a transistor radio one of the chaperons had brought in. I had to go into the gym and tell everyone that the Cards had lost and there would be a Game Seven."

Kicking In for Charity

For the past two years, Student Council has organized a kickball tournament for the students to help raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We had eight teams who participated this year, with two senior teams making it to the championship. This final game was played on Monday, March 12 between "The Darkness" and "Too Legit to Quit." "Too Legit to Quit" is now Trinity's two-time St. Jude kickball champions, after winning the tournament last year also. After raising over $500 for St. Jude's, Student Council wishes to continue this tradition in kicking for charity.

NFL Visits TCHS

Neil Rackers, Aquinas Mercy Graduate, and a Kicker for the National Football League, paid a visit to Trinity Catholic High School on Wednesday, March 14th.Neil shared some life lessons and some tips on goal setting with members of the Freshman Class in conjunction with the Freshman Bridges Course.

“You have to keep working, always,” was the message delivered. The group was advised that what one does in high school, work ethic, good reputation and integrity are building blocks for future goals. “Don’t be afraid to do the right thing, even if your friends do not. Keep your goals in mind when you make decisions.”

Members of the audience asked several good questions and were able to find out the ups and downs of a professional sports career, the easiest and hardest part of Neil’s job and the impact his Aquinas Mercy High School had on his career.“ What I experienced at Aquinas Mercy, friendships, faith, hard work and opportunities, all contributed to the person I am today.”

Neil was able to join the Trinity Community for our All School Feast Day Mass, tour the school grounds, and visit with some familiar faces from Aquinas Mercy High School.

TRINITY WINS BRIDGE COMPETITION

Each year St. Louis University sponsors a Bridge to Engineering Awareness in St. Louis Competition for students currently enrolled in high school in the Metropolitan St. Louis area.  The competition is a group based project opportunity in which students use their innovation to build a bridge to compete against other groups throughout the St. Louis area.

The object of the competition is for a team of students to construct a supported road based bridge out of balsa wood that has the highest load/weight efficiency ratio prior to failure.

Trinity's Titan Team #1, consisting of Mike Anderson, Tommy Koerper and Dillon Porzel won first place of 22 teams from all the other high schools entered in the competition. Their bridge, while weighing less than two ounces, had a load carrying capacity of 37.1 pounds prior to failure.  The competition was judged by a jury of professional engineers and professors from the university engineering faculty.

Trinity was also acknowledged for having the highest number of students participating in the competition, including Tyler Mask, Matt Scheidker, Nick Sonntag, Jelani Days, Joe Anger, Justin Wroblewski, Justin Krafft, Tanner Effinger, and Fausto Tommasi.

Titan leading the way

Each year, high schools in St. Louis County are invited to nominate an outstanding leader. Trinity Catholic High School senior Grace Fyalka was honored as one of fifty-nine 2011 St. Louis County Outstanding Student Leaders. Fyalka a graduate of St. Norbert elementary school, took part in a day-long leadership seminar at Washington University before being recognized in a ceremony at the St. Louis County Government Center in Clayton.

In addition to her dedicated leadership at Trinity, Fyalka is an outstanding student, a member of the National Honor Society as well as Youth in Government and a four-year varsity starter in volleyball.
