Posted on June 27, 2017
The beginning of the 2017-18 school year marks twenty years since Trinity High School welcomed its first students in the late summer of 1997. To commemorate this landmark, the school will welcome back alumni, faculty, board members, founders, families, and friends for a program and open house on September 30, 2017. We are excited to gather together to celebrate God’s faithfulness by remembering all He has done over the past two decades while looking forward to the coming years. Please call the school for more details or email trinitytwenty@tcswv.org.

Dale-Palmieri (’13) wed
Posted on September 4, 2014
Trinity alumni Angelo Palmieri and Sarah Dale (both class of ’13) were married this past August in a
beautiful outdoor ceremony. They were surrounded by family and friends, many with Trinity ties,
who joined in celebrating their union. Members of the wedding party included alumni Gabrielle Smith, Hannah Friend, Sarah Mitchell, Chad Johnson, and Josh Jarvis. Samuel Dale, current TCS student and bride’s brother, served as best man. The wedding was officiated by former TCS chaplain Seth Campbell.
Angelo expressed the significance of having former classmates present for their special day. “Most people have an assorted wedding party where most of the wedding party don’t know anyone else involved, but in our case it was like having our family right there beside us, supporting us and witnessing our union.”
Sarah and Angelo are continuing their undergraduate studies at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario where they currently reside. Sarah is a Chemistry major, while Angelo is majoring in Biology and Music.

Trinity alumnus Brianna Kerekes ’12 is being recognized for her achievements on and off the track. The West Virginia University red-shirt freshman recently ran in the 800 meters preliminary competition at the Big 12 Outdoor Championship meet. Though she missed qualifying for the finals, her time of 2:14.70 was a personal-best.
A stand-out student, Brianna also earned Academic All-Big 12 First team honors. To be named to the team, a student must maintain or exceed a GPA of 3.20. When she enters her junior year in the fall of 2014, Brianna will begin her first year in the WVU Occupational Therapy program.
As a Trinity senior in the school’s inaugural track season, Brianna received All-State honors, placing 4th in the 100m, 2nd in the 200m, and 2nd in the 400m.
