August 17, 20179 yr Really what? I was honestly surprised that was what you believed. The Catholic schools were, for the longest time, nothing like you described at all. It hasn't really been until the turn of the century that you started to see them go away from their more blue collar roots. Trinity im particular probably didn't start to have more than 50% sons of college grads until the 90s. A lot of T guys were first generation to go to college up until that point. I know many other schools had similar histories too. Although if you weren't from the area or familiar with them, I suppose that the heresay and rumors about the schools would predominate.

Yeah, I honestly thought they were for the privileged and elite. I'm from the eastern side of the state so there are very few Catholic schools around here. I associated higher level football programs like Cov Cath, St X, Trinity, Lex Cath, etc with these schools. I also always associated tuition with these schools. I was obviously ignorant about Catholic schools. Just for the record, one of my old high school teams and friends Brandon Combs coach football at Trinity a couple years ago.
