School With a Big Why Book Cover

School with a Big Why

Written by our head of school, Dr. Denton, this collection of essays reflects on Trinity’s third decade—giving thanks for God’s faithfulness, while clearly articulating the vision and mission that continue to shape our future. The book explores the four pillars of Trinity’s mission, the real challenges faced along the way, and the creative tensions involved in stewarding a distinctive Christian educational calling. This is a great primer for anyone looking to learn more about Trinity’s mission.  Also available at the link below is Dr. Denton’s first book, A Village Called Trinity, which focuses on the school’s early years, especially the Lower School, telling the story of Trinity’s founding and formative vision.
