Holy Trinity High School is a small Catholic high school in Bradford West Gwillimbury, Ontario, Canada. It was established in 1985, at which time the "school" was spread over several buildings in Bradford. In January 1986, a new site was found in a building on the third floor of Bradford's Bank of Nova Scotia building, which meant Holy Trinity now had four classrooms in one building.
In September, 1986, the school was moved to "portable" classroom buildings at its current site. Construction of the current school building didn't begin until 1991, and the building's official opening was May 24, 1992.
The current student population is approximately 650 students, but it completed a renovation to the building which has extended its capacity for an additional 800-900 students and removed the track field.
The school is known for having one of the best and most successful soccer programs in the last 20 years in the Georgian Bay area. In fact, just recently a new specialized soccer class was added to the school's curriculum.

“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
