Trinity Preparatory School of Florida is an independent college preparatory day-school for students in grades 6 to 12, located in Winter Park, a suburb of Orlando. It is affiliated with the Episcopal Church and is accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools.[1]

History

Trinity Prep was Established in 1969 by Rev. Canon A Rees Hay. The first class had 173 students and served the grades 7-12.[2]

Academics and Faculty

Upper school students are required to complete 22 credits in order to graduate, in English, mathematics, foreign languages, social studies, science, fine arts, computer science, life management, and physical education.[3]

Trinity Preparatory School has 96 degree holding faculty members. Over 60 have earned at least a Master's degree in their field and 5 have doctorates. There is an 11:1 student to faculty ratio, and the average class size is 17 students in the 2019-20 school year.

Trinity Prep's Class of 2019 had 30 students recognized by the National Merit Scholarship as high scorers, and 17 students as National Merit semifinalists, more than any other school in Central Florida.[citation needed][4]

One hundred percent (100%) of Trinity Prep students go on college after graduation, and $12 million is awarded annually in merit and athletic scholarships.

Athletics

In 2019-20, Trinity Prep offered 59 sports teams on the varsity, junior varsity, and middle school levels in 18 different sports. During the fall, teams participate in bowling, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, and volleyball. In the winter, team play is offered in basketball and soccer, with baseball, softball, lacrosse, tennis, track and field, and weightlifting rounding out the spring season.

Trinity Prep generally falls under the 2A size classification but competes in both 1A and 3A as well. Trinity Prep won the FHSAA All-Sports Award for Class 2A in 2002-03 and for Class 2A Private in 2003-04 and 2010-11. The All-Sports Award is awarded to the top-rated athletics program in each size classification in a given year.

The Girls Varsity Softball team has won three state championships.[citation needed]

On January 16, 2013, it was announced that Mike Kruczek had been appointed Head Varsity Football Coach.[citation needed]

The Boys Cross Country team has won eight state championships (1996, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016).[citation needed]
