All Are Welcome

All Are Welcome

The office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Holy Trinity School provides leadership, support, and resources to advance and sustain an all-inclusive school community where every individual is valued and embraced. We are committed to promoting awareness and a deeper understanding of all types of experiences so that everyone in our community feels safe and welcome.

In order to be People for Others and to develop our Ignatian spirituality, we believe that social justice starts within our families and our school community. Each grade level has tenets of social justice and community woven throughout their curriculum. Whether it is learning about the history of Georgetown, significant holidays in other faith communities, what it means to be neurodivergent, or the mythology of minority and ancient cultures, our students learn how to be people for the world and embrace the experiences of others.
