Just two weeks ago, as the clock wound down, with summer just around the corner, the seniors of Trinity were just steps away from being alumni. I asked a few seniors to flash back — to think about the past four years that many said “flew by.” Senior Jackson Spivak, a Dante House member who plans on going to the Florida Institute of Technology, said, “Trinity helped me prepare myself and motivate me toward my goals I want to achieve in life. I couldn’t suggest a better high school for any young man.” It wasn’t easy for many seniors to say goodbye to a school like Trinity. Some thought about senior retreat and its effect. Senior Daniel Hogan said, “Honestly, (Trinity) made me a better person. Trinity made me prepared for college. After retreat, it feels like (other seniors) are your family.” Senior Adam Houk said of his Trinity experience: “I now have long-lasting friendships. Trinity also built me a strong base for my future studies. It has truly made me a man of character.” What did the Class of 2013 president have to say about his time at Trinity? Chris Hubbard said, “(Trinity) has simply done a lot for me. Same with the freshmen retreats and especially the senior retreats. The teachers are real role models, and they’re the ones who make you a better person.” Hubbard, who received a scholarship to play soccer for Notre Dame, pointed to the preparation for college he received at Trinity: “I’ve become more mature and ready for college, no matter where I go. They gave me the tools I needed. They taught me to get my full potential for college.”
