Blessed Trinity Catholic High School
Blessed Trinity Catholic High School, also known as Blessed Trinity or, informally BT, is an Archdiocesan Catholic high school in Roswell, Georgia, United States, a northern suburb of Atlanta.
The multi-level curriculum provides Advanced Placement, Honors, Advanced, and Academic classes to fit the needs of each student. The curriculum grew over the first four years to over 130 courses, including 20 Advanced Placement offerings.
The fine arts program, which began with study in visual art, dance and vocal music, expanded to include a comprehensive drama program and 65-piece symphonic band. Meet Me in St. Louis was the first musical performed by the Blessed Trinity Theatrical Alliance, staged in April 2004.
The growth in the Catholic population in the metropolitan Atlanta area during the 1990s caused the demand for quality Catholic education to increase. In response to this demand, Archbishop John Francis Donoghue established Catholic Construction Services, Inc. (CCSI) in the fall of 1997, to facilitate the construction of additional Catholic schools.[citation needed]
On January 29, 1999, Archbishop Donoghue broke ground onto a new archdiocesan high school, Blessed Trinity. Construction was briefly halted by the discovery of a shallow grave of Confederate soldiers from the Civil War, but was ultimately resumed and completed in 2000. The construction of the school was overseen by Project Manager Allen Kronenberger of CCSI, who commissioned Hussey, Gay, Bell and DeYoung International, Inc. of Savannah as architects for the project.[citation needed]
Blessed Trinity opened in August 2000 with a total enrollment of 219 students; 164 freshmen and 55 sophomores. The school's reputation led to its rapid growth, with enrollment increasing to 465 by the second year, 680 in the third, 840 in the fourth, and 875 in the fifth. The school's first graduation occurred on May 24, 2003. In 2014, Blessed Trinity was recognized with a blue ribbon award given to schools with overall academic excellence.
The athletic program kept pace with the school's growth, and by the fourth year fielded 19 varsity teams, which was expanded to 22 in 2004–2005 with the addition of competition cheerleading and boys' and girls' lacrosse.[citation needed]
Blessed Trinity has risen in the ranks of the state's athletic programs since beginning a varsity athletic program in 2002. BT won the 2004 and 2009 Directors Cup for class AA for having the top athletic program in AA. The school's first state Championship was won by the girls' golf team in May 2003, and the first state championship won by a boys' team was cross country in October 2003. As of November 2019, the school has won 46 state championships. Blessed Trinity was featured on highfive sports team of the week before the football championship in 2014.[citation needed]
