Maltese, Chairman of Christ the King High School’s Board of Trustees. “As New York’s top law enforcement official, Attorney General Letitia James is both the ‘People’s Lawyer’ and the State’s chief legal officer entrusted with the responsibility of upholding the equal protections of all New Yorkers under the law.” At the assembly, the Hon. Letitia James addressed the student body regarding the civil rights legacy of Dr. King and his values of peaceful protest and equality for all. Students also remembered Dr. King’s legacy by reading his “I Have a Dream” speech (read by seniors Jarlyn Rodriguez and Darren Fuller), as well as by watching a speech made by Dr. King to a Junior High School in Philadelphia in October, 1967. Students were also treated to a musical performance to commemorate the occasion by the CK Chorus featuring juniors Evenunye Afeto and Dante McDonald, led by CK Chorus Director, Mrs. Heather Arzberger.

Our students are called not only to listen to God’s word, but to also recognize and serve the needs of others.Our mission is to provide academic instruction and faith formation in an atmosphere of love, trust, respect, and integrity. Holy Trinity’s dedicated faculty and staff instill a love of learning and create a learning environment where students feel validated. Our rigorous curriculum has always followed New York State and diocesan standards, so our students become proficient at problem-solving, communicating in the English language, understanding history and its implications on the present, and approaching science concepts through hands-on experiences. Through Catholic faith formation, the Holy Trinity graduate is a person who works for social justice, offers service to others, and respects all people. The aim of elementary school should be to develop confidence, inquisitiveness, and preparedness for the challenges of higher education and the job market. By providing our students with the most up-to-date educational resources and technology, Holy Trinity Catholic Academy achieves this goal. Traditionally our students perform better than NYC and NYS public school students on the ELA and math exams. While we are very proud of this achievement, we base our students’ success on much more than just testing. The relationships they build, their satisfaction with their work, and the ability to respond creatively to real-world situations all demonstrate the growth of the whole child: academically, spiritually, socially, physically, and emotionally. Please call (718) 746-1479 or visit holytrinitywhitestone.com to see how a Catholic school education at Holy Trinity could be the right learning environment for your child.
