If you have a child who loves to be challenged academically, consider signing him or her up for PSIA (Private Schools Interscholastic Association). Trinity competes in the large-school division against other private and parochial schools in the state of Texas. The academic competitions are very diverse. There are 18 different subject areas, including speech, writing, art, spelling, math, and science. Contests vary by grade level.
If your child is interested, parents should complete a Google Form PSIA Registration by November 1 to indicate which event(s) their child might like to try. Starting in December or January, most events offer a weekly coaching session before or after school, led by a parent or teacher “coach.” Performance in the coaching sessions or on practice tests determines which students will represent Trinity at the district competition held at Trinity on Saturday, March 1, 2025. The first and second place students from each event at District advance to the State Competition, which will be held at Texas State University in San Marcos on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
Parents may wish to discuss the benefits of PSIA for your child with your child's teacher. If you would like to find out more about PSIA, please join a PSIA Information Meeting on Zoom. The identical meetings will be held on Wednesday, October 23, at 4:00 or 7:00 p.m.
