This is our second year at HTCS and we could not be happier with our decision. HTCS has done an amazing job managing the challenges of Covid while keeping teachers and students safe. As a parent of a little one, there’s nothing more important than knowing your child is safe and well looked after when you aren’t around and HTCS has given me that gift of peace of mind. The staff/teachers are absolutely delightful to work with and are so loving and supportive of the children and parents. You are truly gaining an extended family with HTCS!

We love our school. My son has thrived at Holy Trinity. The teachers have high expectations for all kids and work with them tirelessly. They have a great dyslexia teacher and learning specialist. From an early age, they teach the kids executive functioning skills that they will use while there, high school, and in college. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved as a parent and student. My son has learned how to read music, play the piano, recorder, clarinet, and saxophone because of the fantastic music teacher. The art and Spanish teacher are also phenomenal! We love the school's racial and ethnic diversity. The Catholic identity of the school is strong and the kids go to weekly mass and have plenty of opportunities during the day to pray as a community. If you are not Catholic, you are still welcomed! Sign up for a tour ASAP! There have been very few discipline problems at the school, and if there are any, the principal handles them swiftly with fairness and compassion.

We chose this school for its low class sizes, diversity, tradition of academic excellence and involved surrounding community. We couldn’t be happier with our son’s experience here. He is supported and nurtured, challenged and shaped, and he absolutely loves going to school every day. The administrative leadership and teachers are top notch, the communication with parents is excellent, the surrounding community of the church, priests and parish is supportive and involved. They did an excellent job of responding to COVID-19 in a safe and individualized manner... what a gem of a school!

The school is so inviting and welcoming. They are very good about communicating with parents and keeping them informed about all aspects of the school activities. I love the teachers and staff . They make you feel as you are part of a family there. My daughter has progressed so much in her class. I love that the class room size is small and I feel out daughter is getting a great education. We made the right decision in enrolling her in this school!

My kids love going to school everyday. A small class size and the school curriculum is great the kids gets to be challenged. Every teacher in the school knows my kids names which tells a lot on how they work together to better the kids. The knowledge my kids has acquired thus far is amazing!!! The principal is the coolest she goes above and beyond to ensure the school is running smoothly. I can go on and on! Love HTCS! Go Tigers!

We recently transferred our daughter to this school and we have been blown away by this community. The principal and faculty represent the very best that Catholic schools have to offer in North Texas. The class sizes are small and intimate, and our daughter is excited about school every day. I really can't say enough good things about this gem of a school in Uptown. And, beyond the school, Holy Trinity is one of the most welcoming Catholic churches you'll ever attend. If you are a parent living in Uptown, Highland Park or the Knox-Henderson area, this is a must visit school for you!

My daughter and I have been welcomed by this school and community since she started Pre-K3. I have been repeatedly impressed by the way my little one has grown academically and spiritually. She enjoys going to school, has an excellent relationship with her teachers and is becoming a person of great character. It is evident that what I teach and instill in her at home, is mirrored with what she is learning and seeing at school by her peers and teachers. Having her begin her education at HTCS has been fantastic, and I am grateful that she will continue through the 8th grade. I love this school and their staff!

We homeschooled our child prior to attending this school. Our child has flourished intellectually, socially, and spiritually at HTCS over the years!

Fantastic school with zero bullying! We have been impressed with how welcoming the staff and students have been. Each child looks out for one another and the school is truly a family. I would recommend HTCS to every parent living in Dallas.

We are fairly new parents to Holy Trinity Catholic School. Before we moved to Dallas we wanted to find the right school first, then find a home. We toured the school and then let our child spend a day as a student. He loved it! The children in his class welcomed him and it made the transition to a new city and school very easy. We live in Uptown, so it feels like a neighborhood school. The parents are very involved and we love the community. The teachers are great and the average class size is 15-20 kids. WOW! There are plenty of extra curricular activities and everyone (regardless of experience) is highly encouraged to participate. The school also has a program for children with dyslexia.

The school is always trying to challenge its students and is is always teaching them about their faith. The school helped me apply to 3 Catholic high schools and I was accepted into all 3.

This school is a hidden gem in Uptown! The small class sizes allow the teachers to really work with each individual child. Also with the recent change in leadership, the school seems to be back on the right track and I look forward to sending my son there for many more years.

Love this school! Everyone is so approachable and the small classes give the teachers an ability to customize the curriculum for each student. My daughter goes to school happy and comes home ready to do her home work.

This is my daughters first year attending and not only does she love going to school every morning but she is very happy every day she comes home. She is learning so much so fast I am very thankful for the teachers at the school. She is getting a great education I couldn't ask for a better environment. She is also gaining so much insight in religion, I couldn't be happier!

The teachers are wonderful. Leadership not so much. The leadership and communication have caused us to leave. School enrollment has dropped from 160 students to just a little less then 90 in 2 years. Very sad to see this downfall happen to what was once a great school. Looking around there is a serious problem. Many people will tell you its tuition but some know that is not the truth. Its about feeling welcome in a catholic school and open to new ideas. Many have felt pushed out from the "changes" made 2 years ago. If you don't dedicate 100% of your time and money you will feel the cold shoulder.

I think this school is a great option for catholic education in Dallas, I defiantly don't regret sending my child here. The class room sizes are small, about 10-12 students at max I would say. The school has had an abundance of changes over the past years. Sometimes change is good. However, I think that the Principal should evaluate the changes that she has made and get input from the parents. After all, we are paying tuition to send our children here. Like all schools, there is definitely politics involved, but don't let this stop you from sending you children here. HTCS has some magnificent teachers that have survived the changes and also new teachers that have come with the changes. Surveys would defiantly help guide the leadership at holy trinity to help improve the structure and deal with all the changes. What changes do parents like or dislike?? What changes do teachers like or dislike?? I understand that everyone can not be happy but if some of the issues are of concern maybe they need to be addressed. Again don't let this stop you from sending your children here. It is a great school with a small community that. At Holy Trinity your child receives individualized attention. Its is a community where everyone knows each other.
