Eighth Graders Look Forward to High School (March 28, 2009)

Trinity’s 8th grade class received word from high schools in the past few weeks, and the news was overwhelmingly positive.  There are 38 8th grade students, and 37 earned acceptance into their first-choice schools.  Our students gained admission to St. Stephen's Episcopal School, St. Andrew's Episcopal School, St. Michael's Catholic Academy, Hyde Park Baptist School, Regents, and LASA (the Liberal Arts and Science Academy High School).  Trinity students also were accepted at some very prestigious boarding schools, including Choate Rosemary Hall, Hotchkiss, Taft, Middlesex, and Westminster.

“With a near-100% acceptance rate at area independent schools, an impressive acceptance rate at out-of-state boarding schools, and 37 of our 38 students accepted to their first choice high school, Trinity continues to establish itself as the premier K-8 independent school in Austin,” says High School Placement Director Kathy Bloch-Swarts. 

Congratulations to all our 8th graders!  What a terrific record!
