I attended this school for 3 years and the only thing I got out of it was a good work ethic. The school was very unorganized, principal for my 3rd year was horrible and did not care about the students wants, teachers picked favorites and don’t really help the children that needed special attention or needed extra help. After I left the school I still heard bad things about it from my friends. They let a student get away with calling another student a racial slur, absolutely no punishment was taken. This school was hell and they do not show how to be a Christian leader of tomorrow. I would definitely not encourage anybody to come to this school.

This school is very discriminatory against people of color. Horrible school, teachers do not care about your kids, only money. I have been trying to take my daughter out of this school and I keep calling the school to try to get her out and they keep ignoring me and charging me after I said my kid wasn’t going to go to that school anymore. Mr. Valle the principal is also very unprofessional & only cares about money not the students, he will yell at you if you bring an issue up with him, one of the worst principals I have seen at this school, he will pay no mind to you and ignore you. Summer school is also $600 for four weeks. Save the trouble, there are better schools than this!

This school is horrible, has no structure, does not care about the students at all, they also lack financial funds & have absurd prices for anything. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE!!! The teachers don’t care about the students and their academics. Also there was an English teacher who would say racial slurs like the n word with the hard er. The school has absolutely no safety, anyone could walk in at any time. The secretary is also very unprofessional and rude.

Our 3 children who have attended HTCHS have not only learned academic rigor, but they have also learned to give back and serve in their community. Students can try several sports and activities (like drama, or speech and debate competitions) at the same time at a smaller school. We love this high school!

I have 2 children who are alumni of this school and 2 current students. The new Principal and Admin staff are much more organized and communicative with parents than the prior admin. Academic standards are always of the highest quality and the Catholic Christian identity permeates every aspect of the school experience. Advanced placement courses well prepared my children for the AP tests which significantly decreased the number of required college courses for my graduates. Along with scholarship offerings the cost-benefit of their education at Holy Trinity meant that I received over a 200% return on my investment. Where else can I get that kind of return? My oldest could have graduated college in 2 years. Instead she obtained 2 simultaneous bachelors degrees in separate fields within 4 years and graduated Suma Cum Laude in both. Now she is attending Law School on a full tuition scholarship thanks to the discipline and study skills she learned at Holy Trinity. Knowing parents of many other graduates, this is a common story. If you worry about the environment your student must endure in school, you owe it to your child to visit Holy Trinity. Spend a few minutes just watching the students interact with each other and the faculty and you will fall in love with this place.

I can honestly say that this school is seriously unorganized. For the life of me, I have been trying to get paperwork from this school and can not get a response. Facts account is a nightmare. I've always been charged for items that I pay for in cash or check. This school will never grow. They can't keep staff and all of their coaching staff are volunteer except the AD. Most of them quit or don't show up because they have other jobs.

Despite academic success in public schools, our daughter has found her niche at Holy Trinity. The smaller class size, the personal touch, and the sense of safety gives us a peace of mind unmatched elsewhere. The teachers and administrators show they care about her.

The school is unorganized and so is the upper management at the school. They focus to much on other things verges education. They do not support the staff or other administrators.

HTCHS deserves a 5* rating, The faculty and student body have been consistently successful at academic excellence based on its state championships and rate of college acceptance. The student body is committed to a family atmosphere and the relatively small numbers allow students to participate and be successful in multiple extracurricular activities. A strong faith underpinning provides the foundation for the strength of character visible in these students.

Holy Trinity has helped me grow emotionally, mentally, and most of all, spiritually. I went to school there my freshman and sophomore years and moved the summer before my junior year. My new school turned out to be unenthusiastic about the faith (even though it's technically a Catholic school) and had students who don't care about their schoolwork. It made me realize how lucky I was to go to HT because the people there really do care. It's a unique school and anyone would be lucky to be a part of it.

Holy Trinity has been a blessing to our family. We have seen this school grow from only 12 students some 15 years ago to over 100 students. The academics are second to none. It is a faith based school that challenges each student at every level. The teachers, faculty and admin team are always there to help students be successful. There is a sense of family within the school. It is a fun school to be part of. Any discipline problems are handled quickly and in accordance with the student handbook. All students wear uniforms so it is easy in the morning when your kids are deciding what to wear. It is either mass uniform or spirit wear. Students do better in class when they are dressed to learn. Extra curricular activities include past State Champion Golf Teams and Forensic Teams. They have 11 man football and are always competitive in football, volleyball, golf, track, and softball. Athletes are well conditioned in well kept and nearly new facilities. Overall, a great college prep school that educates the whole student, mind, body, and spirit. Students can earn dual credit in many courses and always score well above the average of public school students.

Holy Trinity Catholic High School is an outstanding college prep school in a Christian environment. We have two girls that graduated recently and both were well prepared for college but most importantly prepared for life. Holy Trinity prepares the whole person. Our girls made friends for life. We loved the Cathoilic aspect. Although over 30% of the students are not Catholic. They attended prayer service or mass daily. The math, sciences, and English were outstanding. The students all out score public school students in standardized testing such as the SAT and ACT Tests. The principle is fair and consistent in discipline and runs a tight ship. There is something for everyone. He Forensics program has won over 10 Tapps Stste Chsmpionships. They have grest sports programs and an awesome campus. Football, baseball, and softball fields as well as all new buildings and a nice gym. Tuition is a well priced and a grest investment in your child's education. Very safe school with low student teacher ratios.

In a word, Accomplished. Our daughter has accomplished so mush growth and understanding of what it means to be a Christian adult and how to be successful in our modern world. I am very proud of both our daughters. We have a freshman at Holy Trinity Catholic HS and a 6th grader at St. Mary's both in Temple, Texas.
