GIRLS IN STEM CLUB The Girls in STEM Club was created by physics teacher Dr. Elmarie Mortimer, who immediately recruited the help of senior Amelia Chan.

Ah, Sadie Hawkins. The one day Trinity Prep students don their touristy Hawaiian T-shirts or dust off their flamboyant 70’s attire. In theory, it is a great opportunity for girls to take initiative and ask guys to a school dance—something that is a bit of an anomaly at Homecoming or Prom. Yet its ...
