Trinity Presbyterian School


Trinity Presbyterian School is a Christian day school located in Montgomery, Alabama. It was founded in 1970 for white students to avoid attending schools with blacks.

History

The school was founded by Trinity Presbyterian Church, an all-white church that resisted efforts for blacks to join the congregation.
Trinity School opened in a local church in 1970 with 200 students and 15 instructors, as Montgomery county public schools were being racially integrated. Some historians have described the school as a segregation academy. As of 1986, only two of the schools 645 students were black.
