History of Trinity
Catholic School

Trinity Catholic School has a rich and vibrant history. Today our walls showcase photos of students and classes that date back to our very beginnings in the 1920's. The photos illustrate well this history and time line of Trinity Catholic. 

Several area private and parochial schools also played a role in the overall educational system in Grandview and Marble Cliff. The railroad and the street car line made downtown relatively accessible, and as more well-to-do families chose to build in the area, some sent their children to private and church-related schools in Columbus. Some founders of Columbus Academy, for instance, were residents of this area. Our Lady of Victory Academy opened September 22, 1922 with 51 girls at the church on Roxbury. Classes were originally held in the convent, and were taught by three Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. The children of Saint Margaret of Cortona first began attending OLV in 1948, when Monsignor Thomas A. Nolan, pastor of Our Lady of Victory Church, welcomed them to the parish school.

By 1923, a 7th grade was added to the elementary classes that already existed, and enrollment was 70 students. Enrollment was not limited to Catholic families but was open to all families in the area. A new school building, which housed a new co-ed high school was added in 1930, and by 1936 total enrollment had grown to 328 students. The Academy was co-ed until about 1945, when the boys' program was discontinued because of a lack of athletic facilities. The high school closed in 1963 and the elementary school closed in 1977.

In 1947, Saint Christopher Church, which serves residents east of Ashland Avenue, was founded and its school opened in 1948. Starting with the 1979-80 school year, the parishes of Saint Margaret, Our Lady of Victory and Saint Christopher combined enrollments under the name of Trinity School. All the grades have been located at Trinity School, the former Saint Christopher School, at 1381 Ida Ave., the corner of Ida Avenue and Grandview Avenue. Residents of this area since the 1950s have sent their high school age students to Bishop Watterson High School and later to Bishop Ready High School.

As of October 2023, Trinity School has 144 students from pre-K to 8th Grade. The average number of students per grade is 14.4. Our middle school (grades 6-8) has an average student size of 13.3 students per grade.
