Why attending an Open House is important
Congratulations! It’s summer! You made it! Summer is a great opportunity for you to look back on your academic accomplishments from the past year while also looking forward to new opportunities ahead. Whether your high school years are on the horizon or you are still in your early years of middle school, it is the perfect time to start thinking about where you want to spend your high school years.
Over the next few months, you will see social media posts, billboards and magazines for your local high school options. With so many great public and private high schools in the surrounding counties, it is hard to decide which one is the right fit for you based on just one advertisement or post. The best way to really know what a high school is like is to visit their Open House in the fall.
At an Open House, high schools offer you a chance to step inside their walls and obtain a personal look at what they can offer you. There are many reasons why students attend an Open House. Some girls know where they want to attend high school and attend an Open House to find out more about their hopeful future. Some girls have some idea of where they want to go, so they visit a few schools to compare and contrast in order to make an educated decision. Some girls have no idea where they want to attend high school and come to an Open House to explore options other than attending their local public high school. Attending an Open House is super important because it helps your decision-making when finding the high school that will give you the best opportunity to be successful.
At Trinity Hall, our Open House is one of our favorite days of the year. Upon arrival, you will get first-hand insight into what makes Trinity Hall truly special – our people! We have countless students, teachers, administrators, coaches and current parents on campus ready to welcome you and answer all of your questions. While some schools have scheduled tours, at Trinity Hall, we built our Open House with the same principles in mind that are foundational to our school. We want to empower young women to find their place in the world and reach their full potential. As a result, we give students and families a roadmap of campus and empower you to build the day around your interests. After we gather everyone together for a quick presentation and summary of the event, you get to tour the school building and speak with our staff and students in any department.
Many girls who enroll at Trinity Hall tell us that the Open House is where they realized that our school was the right fit for them. While we do offer all applicants an opportunity to shadow a student during the admission process, the Open House is where most of our potential students first stepped on campus and realized the special environment at Trinity Hall. After all, about 80% of our incoming freshmen Class of 2028 attended one of our Open Houses!
While it is important to visit an Open House during the fall of 8th grade, it is also a smart idea to visit in 7th or 6th grade. After you visit with us, if you realize that Trinity Hall might be a perfect fit, it will be an incentive to work hard and do everything necessary to make sure your application is a result of putting your best foot forward.
This year, the Trinity Hall Open Houses will be held on Saturday, October 5 from 9 to 11 a.m. and on Wednesday, November 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. We ask that families pre-register on our website, but if you just want to drop by, that is great too! We want you to know that you are welcome, and everyone at our school is ready to tell you about all the wonderful things about Trinity Hall in the hopes that you will consider becoming a Monarch.
