Two new classrooms were recently built featuring the latest technology. “As a parent of kids at Trinity, we’re very proud of our parochial school,” said Matt Butterfield, parent and school board chairman.

“Our need for classroom expansion tells the whole story—parents in our community recognize that sending their kids to Trinity will help them excel as they enter high school. Not only do our students receive God’s word every day, they’re also challenged to reach their full academic potential,” said Matt Butterfield.

Assistant principal Scott Husterechoed the same praises.

“The two new classrooms are such a wonderful addition for our church and school,” adds Huster. “It provides much needed space for our students and allows our school to continue to grow. Trinity Lutheran School is blessed to have almost 300 students filling our classrooms on a daily basis. Our goal is to provide a quality Christ centered education for our community and these new classrooms allow us to continue that mission.”

Admissions counselor Nancy Butterfield speaks about the future of the school.

“The two new classrooms will allow Trinity to enroll up to 40 more students.

Most grade levels will have openings, however, some grades will fill and have a waiting list. 3Pre-K (3-year-old preschool) through eighth grade is offered for the 2015-2016 school year.”

“Trinity Lutheran Church and School has been a part of the Tinley Park community for over 150 years The students are very excited about the new classrooms. One student remarked to me that when they moved into the new classroom it felt like the first day of school all over again,” adds Scott Huster.
