History

[edit]

Holy Trinity Catholic School was created in July[citation needed] 2005 with the merging of the Marquette Catholic School System from the West Point Area and the Aquinas Catholic Schools from the Fort Madison Area.[2] The Marquette building was chosen for junior high school while the Aquinas building was chosen for senior high school. At the time 131 students were at the secondary level in Aquinas. The merger was due to increasing costs and the declining population of Lee County, the latter of which meant reduced numbers of pupils. The school received a different set of school colors and mascot, and the school administration allowed parents and students to have a say.[3]

In 2006 Cardinal Stritch High School of Keokuk merged into Holy Trinity High School.[4]

Principal Doris Turner, the first principal since the consolidation, retired in 2011.[2]

In 2017 the school scheduled a renovation of the high school area, refurbishing the electrical systems and installing solar panels.[5]

A new elementary school building in West Point was completed in 2019.[6]

Previously a preschool was in St. Paul.[7]
