Trinity/St. Joseph Beam Signing and Topping Off Ceremony
Hosts Alumni, Supporters

MANCHESTER, NH, October 26, 2023 – More than 200 alumni and supporters of Trinity High School and St. Joseph Regional Junior High School attended a beam signing and topping off ceremony on Wednesday at the Trinity High School campus. The event commemorated the completion of part of the expansion and renovation project that is uniting the schools on one campus.

Guests included the Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci, D.D., Bishop of Manchester, Frank Edelblut, New Hampshire Education Commissioner, and alumni of the two schools and their foundational schools – including Bishop Bradley, Immaculata, and St. Anthony, St. George, and Ste. Marie High Schools, along with St. Joseph High School for Girls, St. Joseph High School for Boys, and St. Joseph Grammar School.

Alumni signed the final top beam that was later installed by Bonnette Page & Stone Corporation during a topping off ceremony. It featured the lighting of a 9-foot tree, symbolizing that all construction workers completed the project safely, and an American flag that were placed on top of the new structure to celebrate the milestone event.

“This expansion and renovation project allows greater access and opportunity to grow and enhance our educational offerings, while placing our faith at the center of everything that we do,” said Nathan Stanton, President of Trinity High School and St. Joseph Regional Junior High School, during his remarks. “Providing formation and growth, preparing our students for the future, and partnering with our families every step of the way, is the true definition of our student success model.”

Stanton shared that part of that model is Trinity High School’s college preparatory curriculum, its new Dual Enrollment program that allows students to earn college credits while still in high school, and its partnership with Manchester Community College that is expanding the school’s career readiness program.

The expansion and renovation project will include a 45,000 square foot addition, enhanced technology in classrooms, new science and robotics labs, and the addition of a media center, renovated gym with locker rooms, fitness center, and a separate junior high school wing.

St. Joseph Regional Junior High School will welcome its first class of students on the campus in Fall 2024. The entire project will be completed during Fall 2025.
