Trinity Lutheran Church has operated its school for over fifty years because we believe that excellence in education can best be provided in the context of a day-by-day relationship with God. We believe that knowledge of world is important, but that it is the knowledge of the love of God through Jesus Christ that makes our lives worthwhile. We are dedicated to providing a thorough training in all the basic subjects. We are also concerned that emphasis be placed on teaching children to do what is right and to deal with others in loving concern. Trinity Lutheran School's curriculum meets the requirements of a general elementary education. Graduates of Trinity average two years above national norms on SAT tests and are accepted into fine non-public as well as public high schools. Our teachers are state credentialed. Trinity admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of educational policies, admission policies, financial policies, athletic and other school administered programs.
 Administration/School Library/Classrooms Happy New Year!
