Trinity Hall Girls Prep School Announces Major Expansion

TINTON FALLS, NJ — Trinity Hall, an all-girls Catholic college preparatory high school located on the former Fort Monmouth military base in Tinton Falls, announced Friday they plan to significantly expand their facility.

Trinity Hall says they need to accommodate its growing enrollment by constructing a two-story addition with a footprint of 11,230 square feet and a total area of 22,460 square feet. The addition will include additional classrooms, office/administrative space, a multi-purpose room, a chapel and a new entrance lobby.

“We are excited and thrilled with the Tinton Falls Planning Board’s vote allowing us to expand our campus," said Head of School, Mary Sciarrillo. "Once we moved to our permanent and forever home on historic Fort Monmouth, we realized just how much opportunity we can provide to our greater community."

Trinity Hall used to operate out of the Middletown Parks and Recreation building on the Croydon Hall campus at 900 Leonardville Road in Leonardo, until they moved permanently to Fort Monmouth.

In February 2015, Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority (FMERA) issued a Request for Offers to Purchase (“RFOTP”) for Building 2290, the former Child Development/Daycare Center on Fort Monmouth. The parcel consisted of 7.4± acres of land and a 19,600-square-foot, one-story building constructed in 1996. The Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan (the “Reuse Plan”) contemplated reuse of the Building 2290 as a child care/school facility.

Following Board approval of a Purchase and Sale & Redevelopment Agreement, FMERA sold the property to Trinity Hall on February 27, 2015. Trinity renovated and opened the facility in time for the 2015 – 2016 school year.

“The opening of Trinity Hall marked another milestone in the Fort’s redevelopment,” said FMERA Director of Real Estate Dave Nuse. “Bringing an excellent school on-site was essential to developing the dynamic community we’ve envisioned for both the Fort and the Borough of Tinton Falls."
