Early 1950s
Three Dominican Sisters from Adrian, Michigan envisioned a school where students would receive an exceptional education, centered around Christ. Trinity Catholic School was then led by six principals from the Adrian Order (O.P.) and the Franciscan (O.S.F.) Order. The Sisters resided in a home across the street from the school and eventually a convent was constructed, which now overlooks the campus as the John Neumann Retreat Center.1952
