Rooted in Truth,
Rising in Excellence

As we witness the rapid decline of culture, values, and excellence in education, Trinity Lutheran School is elevating a Gospel-first approach in our community. Trinity is committed to excellence, providing families with hope through an unwavering hold on traditional, Biblical values. We are shaping students (and their families) to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world; and we will never stray from our commitment to our faith, our values, and our families.

FORWARD in Faith

Trinity → FORWARD, the capital campaign for Trinity Lutheran School is all about serving our community – our families and our children – in the name of Jesus, building on over 180 years of history. In just three years, Trinity has become a leader in Christian education with a relentless pursuit of excellence, and an unwavering dedication to our core values, first and foremost of which is Christ-Centered.

Built on the Rock.
Moving Trinity Forward

Our campus has stood here since 1839; the time has come to expand our footprint, grow the kingdom, and set the stage for the next 180 years of our history. If we don’t act now, our school will be completely out of room.

Since 1839, Trinity has stood for freedom, independence, and most importantly, the Gospel of Jesus. Seeking a place to practice their religion freely, our German ancestors founded Trinity Freistadt (“free-city”). We stand together ready to be that free city once again, and our community is all in; the time to act is now. You can help move Christian education forward. Together, you can commit to standing firm in the Gospel-centered values shared by countless families across our area and move our community forward. Together, we can live out our church’s founding motto from 1839, “Built On The Rock,” as we stand together moving

I Am a Child of God:
The Trinity Transformation Story

We had a vision to strategically fill our classrooms with students of all backgrounds and abilities. After all, a strong, Christian education is for all of God’s children! In the early spring of 2018, funds were secured to reach our community and grow our brand. Our staff and community bought into a vision of the future that saw a growing school in a growing community. Finally, we invested in our staff with professional development, bold hiring, and strategic movements that shifted the focus into the most student-centric approach possible.

Three academic years later, Trinity has grown 120%, bursting at the seams and using every square inch of our campus to welcome students into classrooms. By 2020, Trinity was already recognized by the Ozaukee News-Graphic as one of the fastest-growing schools in the area. Later that year, Trinity was awarded the Vanguard Award and Principal Leadership Award for their work in the community. Today, school leadership is presenting at conferences around the state and country, sharing our story. Yet, of all our data, our most important feature is that every Friday, our student body gathers for closing assembly, recognizing one another for living out core values, celebrating our accomplishments, and declaring with one voice their identity, “I am a child of God, loved and saved by Jesus.”

Phase 2 Update, Listening Session, 11/23/25 9:30 am

Updated Gym Drawings and Plans

Trinity’s ExCC has been working on a plan for an achievable phase 2 new gym. The image shown above was revealed during the school gala and is now part of ongoing discussions as we work towards the future of Trinity athletics, events, and fine arts. Join us at the meeting to hear about the updated design documents, offer feedback, and hear about next steps.

Included in the most up-to-date design:

  • Two full-size high school courts and seating for 500-1,000.
  • Mezzanine level to connect existing classrooms to future classrooms and the gym lobby.
  • Later phase fine arts addition for orchestra, band, general music, and practice spaces.
  • Office and conference room spaces.
  • Substantial lobby space for events.

We look forward to our continued work and future iterations of this plan. The ExCC will communicate the next opportunities for feedback and design input.

Phase Two Update, Listening Session, 6/29/25

Trinity’s ExCC has been working with key stakeholders to incorporate as much programming as possible into the Phase 2 design. Following our programming notes, we began to construct scaled spaces into our master campus plan. Here is the initial drawing. This first space design was shown at the June 29 listening session, where the team received feedback from our community.

You’ll note the following in this very preliminary drawing:

  • Two full-size high school courts and seating for 1,000.
  • Mezzanine level to connect existing classrooms to future classrooms and the gym lobby.
  • Fitness Center.
  • Potential new Middle School wing.
  • Potential new performing arts rehearsal and practice room space.
  • Substantial lobby space for events.

Not pictured are the additional 150-200 parking stalls that will accompany the addition (we received lots of feedback on parking 🙂 ).

We look forward to our continued work and future iterations of this plan. The ExCC will communicate the next opportunities for feedback and design input.

Special Congregational Meeting, 3/16/25

The Board of Lay Leaders has called a special congregational meeting to discuss and vote on a resolution to engage an architect using funds that have already been donated for this purpose. This would permit an architect to begin the process of gathering input from the staff and congregation as well as to create initial drawings in preparation for the next phase of our expansion.

Please join us at Noon on March 16th for this discussion and vote.
