Trinity High School New Students to Trinity High School Submitted by Jennifer Waldschmidt, Trinity Student Trinity High School prides itself on diversity, and it shows on the first day on campus. Being a Trojan is a unique experience, especially for students coming from far away locations. Leata Kisena moved from Oakland, California. She mentioned that THS moves faster but also offers more opportunities for students. “I like it here because it is fun and different. Surrounding myself with different people helps me open up and be open minded in class,” Leata said. Even though she’s new to Trinity, she has already found interest in basketball, volleyball and Hindi. Pragyan Pouda, who relocated from Nepal, sees differences between his old school and his new one. “I like that there’s not only one building, so we can get fresh air and walk outside,” Pouda said. “I am also excited to take up soccer and join the school’s team.” Students, whether from far away or from local junior highs, embrace the school atmosphere. “The school is really diverse and everyone tends to be independent but unified at the same time,” Amari Mapp said. “I like the classes because teachers give us what we need to succeed.” L.D.
