The first Open House of the school year, held on Saturday, October 3, welcomed prospective students and their families from a variety of schools to experience all that Trinity Hall has to offer. In addition to the prospective students eager to learn more about the school, members of the Trinity Hall student body volunteered their time to serve as ambassadors and share their experiences. As families arrived, they were greeted by enthusiastic students and faculty lining the hallways, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that captured the spirit and community of Trinity Hall.
The welcoming procession led to the Commons, where teachers and student ambassadors delivered meaningful insight about the school and its community. Throughout the building, families had the opportunity to visit classrooms and learn about Trinity Hall’s academic offerings, explore the variety of clubs and programs, visit the chapel, and discover the school's newest additions.
Lynn Retterer, Director of Admissions, shared, “I am always amazed by how enthusiastic our student body is during Open House Saturday morning! Everyone brings the energy to welcome prospective students and their families; it really speaks to the community we have and the love the girls have for this school and our mission.” The level of excitement brought to all of the admissions/ambassadors events is a testament to the constant energy at Trinity Hall, which is infectious as guests enter the school.
One change introduced this year was a more collaborative approach to the information session, replacing a series of speeches with interactive discussions. Administrators posed questions to groups of teachers and students on the interview panel about their personal experiences at Trinity Hall, allowing them to give their firsthand perspectives. This format effectively created an engaging environment for prospective students and families, and even allowed for the current student volunteers to gain new insights into their community.
Current students had the opportunity to share their love for the Trinity Hall programs throughout the building as well. In the Commons, athletics teams highlighted their accomplishments over the years, answered questions, and offered insight into what makes each team special. Prospective students could ask questions and sign up to learn more about programs that they were interested in. Similarly, students participating in the Trinity Hall Arts programs had the opportunity to discuss past shows and share the different ways to get involved within the arts department.
If you missed this Open House, be sure to check out Trinity Hall’s future events, where students and faculty will be just as excited to introduce prospective students and their families to our community!
