A unique experience for Trinity Middle School students is the annual 8th Grade trip to Washington, D.C. 

Unlike most class trips to the nation's capital, the Trinity 8th Grade visit is less of a sightseeing tour and more of an opportunity for students to lobby legislators and others on student-selected legislation ranging from affordable housing to gun violence.

“It's a really great experience,” said Andrew Arriola TES '25, who, along with classmates, studied prescription drug use and identified lawmakers who have sponsored legislation dealing with the topic. “Not all schools get to do this.” 

The trip is the capstone to the 8th Grade's Seminar course. QCityMetro took a closer look at the trip in this article.
