Trinity Robotics Building Success
On Saturday, March 10, four Trinity students attended the 2018 Samtec Kentucky Derby Festival RoboRumble. The RoboRumble featured four different competitive events including RCX, SumoBot, Robotics Use and Live Programming.
Jake Wheeler and Trenton Alsip entered the Live Programming event as a team. In this event, the team entered the contest room with a laptop and their base robot. They received a list of challenges and tasks and had to adjust their robot and write the program to perform each task. Points were given for completing each task, for using different sensors and for completing the tasks in the shortest period of time.
Austin Hirtzel and Daniel Carper entered the SumoBot event as a team. This competition involved two robots in a cir - cular ring, with the goal being to disable and push the opposing robot out of the ring.
Congratulations to Jake Wheeler and Trenton Alsip for bringing home the first-place trophy in the high school division of the Live Programming event! This is the first Robotics trophy earned by a Trinity team in a Robotics competition. The Robotics team is moderated by Ms. Mary Mason H’09 .

49 Quick Recall Season a Success s
The Trinity quick recall team wrapped up a historic season this year by qualifying for the National Academics
w Quiz Tournament (NAQT) High School National Championship, held in Atlanta on Memorial Day weekend. Trinity had never qualified for this event, the premier tournament for quick recall teams. Trinity e was the only team from Jefferson County and one of only seven teams from Kentucky to compete. There were 351 teams in attendance from across the country, Canada and China. The Rocks qualified by winning their pool N
and finishing 3rd out of 19 teams at the ClassAct Federal Credit Union tournament held at JCTC Southwest
s in December.
u Luke McFarland ‘18 (captain), Henry Mullins ‘18, Sammy Mattingly ’19 and Nick Huls ’20 competed for the Shamrocks. In a p tournament format that continually seeds teams based on their per - formance, the team finished 4-6. Many of their opponents were making
m return trips to the event. After a first round loss to Troy (OH), Trinity scored wins against schools from Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Florida. a
C Sammy Mattingly said, “The experience was eye-opening. Overall, I was really impressed how competitive we were and how we were in games with teams who had been there two or three times.” Nick Huls described it as “a unique experience. It allowed us to face talents from across the country and expand our knowledge base.”
The Nationals appearance capped an extremely successful sea - son. Luke McFarland reminisces, “Our season could not have gone any better. An undefeated record in the league, champion of the league tournament, winner of District, runner-up in Regional Gover - nor’s Cup, State Governor’s Cup participants, as well as qualifiers for nationals! Thinking about our season puts a smile on my face and I couldn’t imagine doing it without my coach or teammates.” Trinity competes against the top nonpublic schools in our league and against Sacred Heart, St. X, and Collegiate in District. Photo credit: Scheri Mullens, mother of Henry ’18 This year marked the 2nd time in three years that Rocks quick recall has won District and 3rd time in 6 years they have advanced to State by finishing top 2 in Region. The team is led by head coach Mark Amick ’97 and assistant coaches Jason Rand ’05 and Judy Waggone r.

interest, including global health, international development, environmental w sustainability and gender equality.
Mark will spend two weeks in this program this summer. s
Zoeller and Klein to Attend National Conference on House Systems
Trinity Principal Dan Zoeller and Adam Klein , our Director of Activities and House System, will once again attend the annual conference on House Systems.
The gathering will take place in June in Cincinnati. Catholic schools from around the country will attend, those who have a House System and those wanting to learn more.
Under Zoeller’s leadership as director of activities in 2001, Trinity pioneered the use of the House System as a way to engage students in activities, build community and improve communications between teachers and students.
Zoeller stated, “Going to the House System Institute each year is a great way to network and share strategies with other educators who have created smaller, impactful communities within their schools.”

Men of Faith On April 25 Trinity teacher Scott Holzknecht ’97 and Campus Minister Mary Emrich H’09 accom - panied eight seniors to the Festival of Faiths, a five-day nationally acclaimed multi-faith celebration of music, poetry, art, film, and dialogue with spiritual leaders, practitioners, and teachers. They were joined by Josh Huff ’08 (Trinity senior retreat leader and Director of Youth Ministry at St. Edward Parish).
The session introduced this year’s theme, “Sacred Insight, Feminine Wisdom” with a panel of speakers from Buddhist, Hindu, Catholic, and Dine (Navaho and Cheyenne) traditions. Students from Mercy, St. X, and St. Francis High Schools also attended, along with other conference participants. The seniors spoke highly about the session and learned from the brief but powerful insights shared. fA aday earlier, Camipus Mtinistry invih ted seniors to return to Mount St. Francis for a “4th Day” retreat, to reconnect with their senior retreat experience. This is the first time Trinity has done anything like this, and the response was overwhelm - ingly positive. Twenty-six seniors got out of bed on a cold, rainy morning to drive through morning rush hour traffic and spend some time together in brother - hood and faith-sharing, remembering that God’s friendship is with them always and in all ways, and re-committing to live the 4th. Special thanks to Steven Tompkins, Keith Rapp, Conor Carroll, Jimmy Backes, Chris Luken , and Fr. Dave Zettel for helping make this event happen! 52

Tom’s responsibilities will be to assist Dr. Chang in the laboratory and classroom, as well as to provide example and instruction to students in the laboratory and classroom. In addition, he will be working as a Resi - dential Advisor Assistant (RAA) in support of the RA’s who manage the housing and daily activities of students attending the program.

What is the HOUSE SYSTEM? s
In the Fall of 2001, Trinity High School became the only school in the region to offer a House System. Common in European schools, the system, “places students into smaller communities to increase opportunities for student leadership and adult mentoring,” said Dan Zoeller , Trinity’s Principal.
Since its inception, students are building even closer relationships and experiencing a deeper sense of belonging. School spirit is up and the student voice in the administra - tion is greater than ever! There are 10 Houses of approximately 130-140 students who remain in the same House for their full four years. Named after famous Catholic saints, thinkers and writers, the Houses comprise freshmen through seniors.
Throughout the year, Houses compete in a variety of contests and competitions to encourage unity and pride. Each House has its own motto, mascot, colors, banner and student-de - signed T-shirt. The House System also encompasses student government at Trinity. There are nine student representa - tives for each House – three seniors, and two each from the junior, sophomore and freshman classes.
Together, they form a vibrant and responsive student government comprising 90 students who are elected by peers to serve each year.

55 Ace Awards s
On Thursday, May 10, our ACE (Architecture, Construction & Engineering) Rocks presented their project at the
w annual ACE Gala held at U of L. This year’s project was a presentation of a renovation to our existing Theater in the Trinity Auditorium, led by junior Alex Cox. e
Senior Michael McCalpin received the $1000 John Kelly Scholarship and two of our juniors, Kyle Thorne N
and Austin Hirtzel , received the underclassmen award and a $100 cash prize each. s u Mullen and Zoeller Invited Presenters in Los Angeles p & National Law Symposium m Trinity Principal Dan Zoeller and school President Rob Mullen will travel to Los Angeles in July. They have a been invited to speak at a conference organized by the National Catholic Educational Association. Catholic school principals, presidents and superintendents from around the country will attend the conference. C
Their presentation is entitled: Inclusion in Every Way: How Trinity High School Does It.
This follows the school being featured in NCEA’s Momentum newsmagazine in Summer 2017. The NCEA describes Trinity in this way: “Trinity High School effectively serves 1,200 young men of diverse aca - demic backgrounds. Trinity has never limited its enrollment to those achieving a certain score on a placement test, as there are no arbitrary cut-off scores. The backbone of Trinity’s success is its LOD system or four pro - grams of study. The House System and Catholic Identity of the school are key strengths as well in breaking a large school down to more inclusive and student-centered units. This inclusivity has in no way compromised the academic program’s success which is the strongest in school history.”
Mullen remarked, “This is the premiere conference to attend for Catholic school leaders. To be asked to speak about Trinity to our colleagues from across the country is a true honor and important moment for our school. Our approach of welcoming the broadest possible range of students is a national model for others.”
They will be joined by Sr. Mary Angela Shaughnessy, SCN, J.D., Ph.D. who wrote the Momentum article. Sr. Shaughnessy is a Louisville native and a leading expert in Catholic school law.
Additionally, they will speak at the National Law Symposium for Catholic Schools at its annual meeting in July.
This conference attracts Catholic school leaders from across the country to a three-day meeting in Louisville. Participants learn about important topics facing today’s schools.
Mullen and Zoeller will present on the school’s successful implementation of alcohol and drug testing for students, teachers, staff members and board members.
According to President Mullen, “Our testing program has quickly become an effective addition to the more than twenty education, prevention and intervention efforts we have that are geared toward the well-being of our stu - dents and co-workers. Dan and I will gladly share our story with others working in Catholic schools.”
“This is the premiere conference to attend for Catholic school leaders.

Lynn Lamb Chad Waggoner 59 Bryant, Dubay, Lampley and Winegarden Retire s
Joe Bryant graduated from Trinity in 1975. He returned to spend his teaching career here after graduating
w from Hanover College. His 38 years were marked by a fine attention to detail and deep concern for his students. He spent many years as chair of the Health and Physical Education Department. In this role, he ensured that all e department members carried out their duties in the best possible manner. He led the school to purchasing mul - tiple AED devices and taught many colleagues CPR. He also instituted training of every freshman in the latest N
CPR technique. He co-founded the Shamrock Bass Classic and Rockin’. He worked many Senior Retreats and coached football. s
u Tom Dubay ended his 43-year teaching career in the same way he began it, by challenging his students to consider Gospel lessons in light of today’s events. He taught nearly every Theology course the school offered but p focused primarily on Social Justice and Sociology courses. He co-chaired the Peace Medal Committee for many years with Klaus Mittelsten and moderated the Environmental Club in recent times. He moderated the Student
m Council and served on the Faculty Senate. He worked Senior Retreats each school year. He was honored as the religious educator of the year by the Archdiocese of Louisville. a Dennis Lampley concluded his 47-year career at Trinity in May. He taught Health and PE, coached multiple C sports and was inducted into several athletic halls of fame. He is best-known for coaching football, first as an assistant to Jim Kennedy and then Dave Moore. He was head coach of the Football Rocks twice, winning five state titles and establishing the state’s longest win streak (50 games). He is equally proud of the golf and track teams’ successes during those years as their coach. He served as an assistant athletic director under Father Harry Jansing, before assuming the role himself. He was a staunch advocate for his students, especially those who struggled in the classroom.
Larry Winegarden retired after 15 years at Trinity. He spent many years in the public school sector as a teacher and eventually as a principal before landing at THS. He served on the Faculty Senate for many years, representing his teaching colleagues. He taught science while here, even developing several elective courses. His junior and senior year courses that studied earth and space science were especially popular. He teamed with fellow science teacher Michael Budniak to lead a group of students to southern Kentucky to observe the recent solar eclipse. Larry fully embraced Trinity’s Catholic education experience and the school’s mission.
This year we also say thank you to these colleagues who are leaving our service: Jocelyn Shi (4 years) who was our first teacher of Chinese, Marlon Francis (5) who began our outdoor science lab, Keith Wiedmar (10) who taught engaging science courses, and Missy Clay (20) who taught English and led Becket House.
We wish them the Very Best!
