History

HTS was founded in 1981 by members of Holy Trinity Church in Thornhill. The school’s first classrooms were in the church basement. However, enrollment grew quickly; within two years, HTS had relocated to more spacious quarters on Bainbridge Avenue in North York.

The school’s present campus was established on land purchased by the Board of Governors in Richmond Hill. This campus was officially opened in 1985 with the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Honourable Lincoln Alexander, and the Archbishop of Toronto, the Most Reverend L.S. Garnsworthy, in attendance.

Facilities

HTS is located at a facility situated on a 37-acre (0.15 km2) campus in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The building underwent a major expansion in 2003 and again in 2016.

The facilities include:

Houses

Upon enrolment in the school, each student is placed into one of six "houses": Champlain, Bishop Mountain, MacDonald, Thorne, Rose or Langton. Throughout the year, the houses compete in both academic and athletic competitions to earn "house points". At the end of the year, a winner is announced. House points are earned from specific organized events throughout the year. House points can also be earned by bringing in assorted items to the various food or gift drives that are organized throughout the year or items like old cell phones, batteries and ink cartridges.

Student government

There are a variety of student government initiatives in the senior school; the two main organizations are the Student Council and the Prefects. The Student Council is a fully elected organization with representatives of the council being elected by students from each homeroom. The purpose of the council is to represent the views of students and to promote and encourage school spirit and community. [1] The Prefects are a team of elected students who are committed to fostering leadership, direction, and spirit in the student body while maintaining a positive environment. They function as an active voice representing the student body and serve as a bridge to the school administration and faculty.

Each year, the Prefect body selects a Head Prefect to lead them throughout the school year. The Head Prefect is responsible for chairing Prefect meetings, organizing all Prefect initiatives within the school, and having an overall pulse on school life. They are widely regarded as the most senior student leader and role model within the HTS community. [2]
