History
The school opened on September 9, 1970, as part of a merger of three Catholic high schools in Manchester: Bishop Bradley High School, Immaculata High School, and Saint Anthony's High School. The only remaining Catholic high school in the city, Ste. Marie's, remained independent but eventually closed in 1973.
The school's college preparatory curriculum features a Catholic emphasis. Students of all faiths are welcome to attend, but classes on the Catholic faith are required of all students.
It is accredited by the National Catholic Educational Association.
Sports and extracurricular clubs
The school competes at the Class "L" level in 21 boys', girls' and coed varsity sports. The football team currently competes in Division III. The teams are known by the mascot name "Pioneers". In the fall of 2019, the football team won the Division III state championship.
The school fields a FIRST Robotics Competition Team, which competed on the national level in 2011.[6] The team now fields a VEX Robotics team that competes on the local and world level.[7]
The Trinity boys' basketball team won the Class "L" championship against Dover High School at UNH's Lundholm Gym in 1985. In 2009, after two consecutive years with championship losses, the Trinity Pioneers won the Class "L" basketball championship, and again in 2013, this time versus Bishop Guertin High School.[8][9]
The varsity cheerleading team currently has five state championships.
