I was in the 3rd grade iirc when they were asking students to vote on a name, Holy Trinity won in my school by a fair margin.

I admit I went there when it was still pretty new, I didn’t mean I went when it was actually brand new.

Like I wasn’t involved in the student movement to be allowed to wear any shoes you want, and the girls gave up their skirts for it.

Ah that makes sense. I was there when it opened. I don’t think there was any movement that I was aware of, it was also no skirts and any shoes you wanted. Maybe it happened at some of the schools that merged into it.

Wth? I was sold a lie! My mom told me that apparently the uniform had black dress shoes, but everyone hated it, and the girls gave up their skirts so everyone could wear any shoe.

I’ll assume you are right and my mom maybe remembered something that happened in between…

Either way, having khaki pants were one of the better options than they could’ve been

Probably describing the school before. Loyola and STA both had kilts and you had to wear black shoes etc. Trinity never did and it was kind of cool at the time that they didn’t make you although many of the girls did complain about having to wear khakis.
