Holy Trinity Catholic Parish is seeking its first new school principal in 16 years. In many ways, our school is at a turning point in its 153-year history. We need a servant-leader with vision and zeal to help guide the school in serving a unique community where fields and orchards meet the city. Perched among the ridges just a mile from bustling Alpine Avenue, Holy Trinity serves both rural and urban families in a culture marked by humility and generosity. 

The school is blessed by a supportive parish, an ample endowment fund and a dedicated faculty. Seasoned professionals and first-year teachers work collaboratively, blending traditional and innovative teaching methods with fresh technology to help all students seek and fulfill God’s plan for their learning and life.

With the mission to “know, love and serve God in all that we do,” the school draws students from as far north as Newaygo and south as Kentwood. New houses will soon be built in our neighborhood, and Holy Trinity is eager to welcome new families.
