Dear Trinity Family,

I am honored to share that this year's Baccalaureate speaker will be The Reverend Reid T. McCormick, and our graduation speaker will be Trinity Prep alumna, Mrs. Dorothy Swann McAuliffe '81. The Reverend Ronald G. Brokaw, former faculty member and administrator, will be the Assisting Priest at Baccalaureate. Baccalaureate is on May 31st at St. Lukes, and Graduation will be held on campus on Saturday, June 2nd.

The Reverend Reid T. McCormick and his wife Jackie began their involvement with Trinity Preparatory School in 1998, when their family moved to Winter Park and Reid began serving as associate rector of All Saints Church. At that time, Reid and Jackie's two daughters, Molly and Natalie, enrolled at Trinity Prep. In addition to being a parent of Trinity Prep students, Reverend McCormick initially served as Bishop Howe's appointee and was eventually elected to the Board of Trustees, serving a total of six years. During his time on the board, Reverend McCormick was adamantly supportive of revitalizing the chaplaincy program, including the character development initiative that arose out of a Board of Trustees retreat. He also served as chair of the Building and Grounds Committee, collaborating with the headmaster, faculty, and board members to develop a comprehensive Master Plan as well as plans for the renovation/upgrade of three of the original school buildings, expansion of the arts facilities, demolition of the existing library, and the design programming and construction of the Media Center.

Reverend McCormick is extremely appreciative of the privilege of serving the school as well as the foundational education that the staff and faculty provided his children, who continue to thrive in their respective vocations and communities as a result of Trinity Prep's influence. As a product of a similar school (Episcopal High School of Jacksonville) and now serving as Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and Academy in Fort Pierce, Reverend McCormick believes in the importance of an Episcopal school, as he is the beneficiary of such a unique spiritual offering that led to his vocational calling as a priest. Reverend McCormick is honored to deliver the 50th anniversary address, marking his fourth Trinity Prep Baccalaureate appearance.

Dorothy Swann McAuliffe '81 is a committed advocate for social justice and equal opportunity. In her time as First Lady of the Commonwealth (Virginia), she engaged stakeholders in state government and higher education to strengthen communities and the next generation by expanding opportunities for national service. She also led efforts to increase support for Virginia's military families, particularly military-connected children who experience frequent school transfers and deployments of family members.

Mrs. McAuliffe empowered local communities by forging innovative partnerships, linking locally grown agriculture, education, health, and nutrition initiatives across Virginia and the country. She has been nationally recognized for her work to eliminate childhood hunger.

Mrs. McAuliffe's advocacy resulted in a historic investment of $2.7 million over three years in the governor's budget to help schools adopt "breakfast after the bell" programs. In partnership with the "No Kid Hungry Virginia" campaign, her leadership led to an increase of over 10 million school breakfasts served to Virginia students each year, as well as increased participation in after-school and summer meal programs for students in need.

Dorothy McAuliffe is a graduate of The Catholic University of America and completed her J.D. at Georgetown University. Currently, she serves as a fellow at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Policy in the McCourt School of Public Service and serves on the boards of FoodCorps, an AmeriCorps program supporting healthy food access and food education in local schools, and the Service Year Alliance.

Sincerely,

Byron M. Lawson Jr.

Kyra Alston '23 has participated in the Law Week Speech Contest since 4th grade and has won first place each year. This year she won 3rd place.

Kyra captivated the audience with her confidence, connection, and comprehension of the topic. Even though this was Kyra's 4th year participating in the OCBA contest, each year, since the age of 3, she has competed in her church's oratorical contest. As a result, Kyra was able to captivate, capture, and command the audience's attention with her poise, passion, and humor as she dealt with the theme. In short, the speech addressed the U.S. Government and its distinct and independent branches—Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court and how these entities interact to form our framework for freedom. Likewise, the theme required speakers and us to reflect on the separation of powers as fundamental to our constitutional purpose and to consider how our governmental system is working for us and our posterity.

Kyra delivered her speech to a power-packed audience: judges, lawyers, and other business and law professionals. Kyra received congratulatory comments, positive feedback, and encouragement from those in attendance. She already is looking forward to participating in the 2019 Law Week Speech Contest and activities!

Kyra Alston '23 has participated in the Law Week Speech Contest since 4th grade and has won first place each year. This year she won 3rd place.

Kyra captivated the audience with her confidence, connection, and comprehension of the topic. Even though this was Kyra's 4th year participating in the OCBA contest, each year, since the age of 3, she has competed in her church's oratorical contest. As a result, Kyra was able to captivate, capture, and command the audience's attention with her poise, passion, and humor as she dealt with the theme. In short, the speech addressed the U.S. Government and its distinct and independent branches—Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court and how these entities interact to form our framework for freedom. Likewise, the theme required speakers and us to reflect on the separation of powers as fundamental to our constitutional purpose and to consider how our governmental system is working for us and our posterity.

Kyra delivered her speech to a power-packed audience: judges, lawyers, and other business and law professionals. Kyra received congratulatory comments, positive feedback, and encouragement from those in attendance. She already is looking forward to participating in the 2019 Law Week Speech Contest and activities!

Dear Trinity Family,

I am honored to share that this year's Baccalaureate speaker will be The Reverend Reid T. McCormick, and our graduation speaker will be Trinity Prep alumna, Mrs. Dorothy Swann McAuliffe '81. The Reverend Ronald G. Brokaw, former faculty member and administrator, will be the Assisting Priest at Baccalaureate. Baccalaureate is on May 31st at St. Lukes, and Graduation will be held on campus on Saturday, June 2nd.

The Reverend Reid T. McCormick and his wife Jackie began their involvement with Trinity Preparatory School in 1998, when their family moved to Winter Park and Reid began serving as associate rector of All Saints Church. At that time, Reid and Jackie's two daughters, Molly and Natalie, enrolled at Trinity Prep. In addition to being a parent of Trinity Prep students, Reverend McCormick initially served as Bishop Howe's appointee and was eventually elected to the Board of Trustees, serving a total of six years. During his time on the board, Reverend McCormick was adamantly supportive of revitalizing the chaplaincy program, including the character development initiative that arose out of a Board of Trustees retreat. He also served as chair of the Building and Grounds Committee, collaborating with the headmaster, faculty, and board members to develop a comprehensive Master Plan as well as plans for the renovation/upgrade of three of the original school buildings, expansion of the arts facilities, demolition of the existing library, and the design programming and construction of the Media Center.

Reverend McCormick is extremely appreciative of the privilege of serving the school as well as the foundational education that the staff and faculty provided his children, who continue to thrive in their respective vocations and communities as a result of Trinity Prep's influence. As a product of a similar school (Episcopal High School of Jacksonville) and now serving as Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and Academy in Fort Pierce, Reverend McCormick believes in the importance of an Episcopal school, as he is the beneficiary of such a unique spiritual offering that led to his vocational calling as a priest. Reverend McCormick is honored to deliver the 50th anniversary address, marking his fourth Trinity Prep Baccalaureate appearance.

Dorothy Swann McAuliffe '81 is a committed advocate for social justice and equal opportunity. In her time as First Lady of the Commonwealth (Virginia), she engaged stakeholders in state government and higher education to strengthen communities and the next generation by expanding opportunities for national service. She also led efforts to increase support for Virginia's military families, particularly military-connected children who experience frequent school transfers and deployments of family members.

Mrs. McAuliffe empowered local communities by forging innovative partnerships, linking locally grown agriculture, education, health, and nutrition initiatives across Virginia and the country. She has been nationally recognized for her work to eliminate childhood hunger.

Mrs. McAuliffe's advocacy resulted in a historic investment of $2.7 million over three years in the governor's budget to help schools adopt "breakfast after the bell" programs. In partnership with the "No Kid Hungry Virginia" campaign, her leadership led to an increase of over 10 million school breakfasts served to Virginia students each year, as well as increased participation in after-school and summer meal programs for students in need.

Dorothy McAuliffe is a graduate of The Catholic University of America and completed her J.D. at Georgetown University. Currently, she serves as a fellow at Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Policy in the McCourt School of Public Service and serves on the boards of FoodCorps, an AmeriCorps program supporting healthy food access and food education in local schools, and the Service Year Alliance.

Sincerely,

Byron M. Lawson Jr.

Three TPS Baseball Player Drafted To The MLB

Three Trinity Preparatory Saints baseball players were selected in the Major League Baseball draft on June 6, 2018. Ryan Olenek '15, Austin Hale '14, and Slade Cecconi '18 join Max Moroff '12 (drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 16th round in 2012) and Billy Cooke '14 as players drafted from the program.

Ryan Olenek, a junior at Ole Miss, was drafted in the 17th round by the San Francisco Giants. Ryan just finished his most successful year at Ole Miss, batting .361, having a 23-game hit streak, and being named 1st Team All-SEC. As a Saint, he was a very dynamic and versatile player as he played SS, CF, and pitcher during his career. Ryan is a junior, so he can sign with the Giants or decide to go back for his senior year at Ole Miss.

Austin Hale, a senior at Stetson, was drafted in the 28th round by the Minnesota Twins. Austin is a tremendous catcher who helped lead the Hatters to an AUN Conference tournament championship, NCAA regional championship, and a NCAA super regional against UNC. The trip to the NCAA super regional is the first time the Hatters have advanced this far in the college baseball tournament. While at Trinity Prep Austin was a mainstay behind the plate and batted in the middle of the order. He thrived at controlling the running game with his strong arm. The Saints made it to the regional finals his senior year at Trinity Prep. Austin graduated from Stetson this spring and will ink a contract with the Twins upon the end of his current season.

Slade Cecconi, a 2018 graduate of Trinity Prep, was drafted in the 38th round by the Baltimore Orioles. Slade had a great career at Trinity Prep, helping lead the Saints on the mound and in the field during his tenure. While Slade was drafted as a pitcher, he led the Saints at the plate this year batting .388 and leading the team in home runs with 6. During his time as a Saint he pitched innumerable big innings for the program, starting his 7th grade year. Last summer Slade was named a Perfect Game All-American, as well as an Under Armour All-American. In his 9th grade year Slade committed to the University of Miami, and this past fall he signed a letter of intent to play. Slade said that he is very honored and thankful to be drafted by the Orioles, however, he will be attending the University of Miami in the fall.

"What a special day for Trinity Prep, the Saints baseball program, these young men, and their families. You start playing baseball at a young age with dreams of being drafted and to have the opportunity to play in the MLB. These players will always be a part of an elite group of baseball players that will be able to say that they were drafted. I had the opportunity to coach Ryan and Slade directly, and I was able to be a part of Austin's early Trinity Prep baseball career during my first stint as an assistant varsity coach while he was on the middle school team. All three of these young men are very good baseball players but what makes me the most proud is that they are amazing people/young men. I am excited for all three, and no matter what decisions they make, I am very proud of them. Today will be a day that I will never forget. It is very difficult to get drafted, and to have three players from our program is very special. It's a great day to be a SAINT!" - Coach Berryhill
