Trinity has always been an enterprising place, but especially now you’ll find a lot going on. We have launched our upper school. And we are expanding our sixth grade from two sections to three, as the first step in a plan to expand our entire middle school. A fine new academic building for our middle and high school students, as well as a new Student Center for athletics and the arts, have been completed. Still, in the midst of all this growth, we keep focused on a few things that are most important. Like truth, goodness, and beauty. Multum non multa—We are keeping our eye on the few things—the most important things--which we know we must do well. The best way to find out about a school is to ask around. Don’t ask me (though I like nothing more than to talk to newcomers about our school!). Ask our parents. Ask people in the community. Find out whether our words are matched by our deeds. That’s the right measure of a school. Talk is cheap, and what school would not say it is excellent? And whatever we do well, we seek to honor the Lord Christ. Our school motto is not a quaint Latin phrase, but a real guidepost for us: Non nobis, Domine, sed nomini tuo da gloriam. “Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory.” Chip Denton Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill © 2003 Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill |
