An average of 14 percent of Holy Trinity graduates go on to play collegiate athletics, competing in the Ivy League, Southeastern Conference, PAC-12, Big 12, and Olympic development programs, as well as the NFL and LPGA.
In the 19 years since the creation of the Upper School athletic department, Holy Trinity has won more than 167 state, regional and district athletic championships.
The school offers 13 sports (21 including boys/girls options) and 50 varsity, junior varsity and junior high athletic teams, as well as 10 Lower School extracurricular sports options.
The Tiger Athletic Complex represents the school’s largest capital expansion since the construction of the 850-seat Scott Center for Worship and the Performing Arts in 2005.
Catherine A. Ford Field was completed in 2001, marking the last major addition to Holy Trinity’s athletic facilities. Holy Trinity’s Upper School was constructed in 2000, while its Lower School has been in place at its historic Melbourne location since 1957.
Phase II of Holy Trinity’s capital campaign will commence in fall 2021 with the goal of constructing a multistory classroom building to house 21st-century learning programs focused on collaboration and innovation.
