History

Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy was established in 1957 as Holy Trinity Parish Day School. Its founding rector was The Reverend Alex Boyer. In 2000, the school expanded, splitting into a Lower School in the original location and an Upper School (high school) located at a new campus in Pineda, which graduated its first class of seniors in 2003. In 1957 when it was first created, they walked students to Mcdonald’s for lunch. The first head of school was Catherine Ford.

The Academy had eight National Merit Scholarship finalists in 2010, highest in the county and double the next closest school.^[4]
