Trinity Episcopal School of Austin celebrated its 25th anniversary on Saturday, November 9. Hundreds attended the event, and attendees included current and former families, current and former faculty, alumni, friends of the school, and West Lake Hills Mayor James Vaughan.
“That this type of educational environment could be created in a mere 25 years — this is nothing short of remarkable,” said Vaughn. “I have the deepest admiration for all of you who made this possible.”
One of Trinity’s top priorities is building a supportive community, and events are one way the school brings people together and builds relationships. The 25th-anniversary celebration included food trucks and fun activities like rock climbing, bouncy houses, and train rides. Attendees also enjoyed a special program featuring choir performances, presentations from current students, and remarks from community leaders.
“When Trinity first began, my mom, Jane Hill, was the founding head, and I remember those early days well,” said Head of School Jennifer Morgan. “It took the collective heart and effort of every family and faculty member to build what we have today. Many of you here were part of that journey, and we’re so grateful. Our mission is as alive today as it was at our founding in 1999, and we hold true to that mission to nurture every child academically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually — honoring each child’s spirit for learning and life.”
Trinity has served the Austin area for a quarter-century, providing an enriched academic experience that is both challenging and nurturing. What began in 1999 with 13 first-graders in a blue house has grown into one of the largest independent PK–8 schools in the country, with 656 students and 167 faculty and staff.
“I am so grateful that I have been able to send my children to this school and that they have had this education early on,” said Anne Harrington, Chair of the Board of Trustees. “As a mother and as a trustee, I want to thank each and every one of you in our community for the extraordinary impact your support has made and continues to make. The history here is exceptional, and I know that legacy will continue to support a bright and bold future.”
