The high school is located in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. School uniforms are mandatory during school hours, and courses are conducted in a theological manner. Though it is a Roman Catholic school, the student population has Catholic and non-Catholic components. On October 25, 2013, a fire was deliberately set in a girl's first floor washroom. Damage was totaled to be over $75,000. The Super Cities Walk for Multiple Sclerosis held in Simcoe's Holy Trinity Catholic High School raised more than $57,000 in donations for multiple sclerosis.[4][5]

Expansion
Holy Trinity Catholic High School

The school was founded in September 2001, with an initial enrollment of 750 students.[6] The school outgrew the main building's original capacity of 1,000 students and an annex was built to accommodate the increase in enrollment. Construction for the annex began in 2006. John Burroughs, the principal at that time, expected enrollment to peak in the following years. The addition was ready for use in September 2007 [3] with ten classrooms, a food services classroom and a conference room in the southwest corner of the school.[7] The addition alleviated the overcrowding that the school was experiencing at that time. Some reasons for the higher-than-expected enrollment at Holy Trinity are technology equipment, athletic facilities and equipment, and the fact that it is the only Catholic high school in the county.
