History

Originally named Saint Joseph Academy, it was an all-girls school located in the Marymount Convent in Garfield Heights. In 1939, the school's name was changed to Marymount High School to avoid confusion with Saint Joseph Academy in Cleveland.

In 1954, a steadily increasing enrollment led the need for a new high school building, located just to the east of the convent. On September 5, 1957, 470 girls began classes ar to the new Marymount High School facility, which today serves as the main building of the Trinity campus.

In 1973, the all-girl Marymount High School closed and re-opened as coeducational Trinity High School. The school enrolled 335 girls and 46 boys.
