On behalf of the Board of Directors of Trinity High School, we welcome you to Bal Dominique 2012. What a truly"awesome" opportunity to come together to support the mission of Trinity High School! For 94 years young women havebeen nurtured and guided in this unique Christ-filled community on Division Street -- a community grounded in the neverending love that flows from God to each of us. Each successive generation of Blazers has worked to build upon thefoundation laid by those brave young Sinsinawa Dominican pioneers who came to River Forest to share their love for Christand education. Tonight we gather to empower Trinity to continue to blaze new trails and to encourage each student tobecome lifelong learners who are self-directed towards responsible participation in their Christian faith and the globalcommunity in order to positively impact society, Church and family.

Over the last 20 years Trinity has been blessed with the transforming leadership of tonight's honoree, Sister MichelleGermanson, President of Trinity High School. Trinity's mission statement challenges its students to seek faith, knowledge andtruth. Sister Michelle embodies that mission as she labors tirelessly in the advancement of Trinity. Her faith in the vision forTrinity allows her to be true to its traditions while leading this remarkable school in bold new directions. Sr. Michelle's blazingaccomplishments are many; the introduction of the International Baccalaureate Program, block scheduling, the Dominicanuniversity Scholars Program and placing a priority on maintaining state of the art technology in order to challenge 21stcentury Trinity students, are all part of her legacy. We cannot leave out the importance of the construction of SMGAF andthe completion of the Health and Fitness Center, concrete evidence of Sr. Michelle's faith in Trinity's bright future. Also, inkeeping with Trinity's all girls tradition, Sister Michelle has remained steadfast in the certain knowledge that a single-genderenvironment provides young women with an education that connects individually, allows each student to personally shineand ensures an educational excellence that will follow these women as they continue their journey as bold pioneers.

From the beginning Sister Michelle knew that for Trinity to thrive responsibility for its future must be shared among its manystakeholders. Today Trinity is the beneficiary of a vibrant and active Board of Directors who, under Sister's leadership, worksclosely with the faculty and staff to support innovation and sustainability. Sister has called upon and encouraged alumnaeand members of the Trinity community to enthusiastically join in our growing effort to make Trinity available to all throughthe support of the tuition assistance and other programs. Sisters vibrant energy and love for Trinity infects current parentsand students, inspiring them to make incredible efforts to bridge the tuition funding gap in ways large and small.

As a Sinsinawa Dominican, following the trail of those pioneers who built Trinity High School and continue to support itsmission, Sister Michelle is living proof of the absolute truth and power of all that the Gospel teaches. Through her sincerityin purpose, Sister Michelle instills trust and commitment in all the lives she touches as well as an assuredness that all thosein the Trinity community share in her commitment to see this great school continue to thrive for the sake of its students andthose who love Trinity, past, present and future.

"Sweet Jesus" it "happies our hearts" to have such an "awesome" honoree. We love you, Sister Michelle.

My Dear Friends,

I am truly awestruck by the spirit of this evening as well as the honor being bestowed on me! It truly is alwayseasier when it is someone else! But me, Sweet Jesus, I was, and am, just doing my job and in so doing, do whatI love! Heavens, I would never be doing something for twenty years unless it "happied my heart". I get bored tooeasily and Lord knows that is impossible at Trinity!

My awesome God's loving providence guided me toward Trinity. I immediately fell in love with the Trinitycommunity the moment I walked around the cafeteria and met the students. In my saying, "Yes", I really wasn'tquite sure what I was getting myself into. Oh, what an adventure it has been! This adventure has given purposeto my life and led me to come to know so many amazing individuals: alums, benefactors, students and families.I love how everyone is so connected! The commitment and dedication of the administration, faculty and staff haveinspired and sustained me over the years. Blessed is the Trinity community! Blessed am I to be a part of sharingsuch an awesome mission with such phenomenal people! The community of Trinity, enamored with the mission,truly demonstrates Blazers blazing the trail. Together, we are bold pioneers! Look what we have done!

Praise Jesus, I thrive on challenge; for it is in challenge that I came to know the true heart of Trinity -- the students!Trinity has and continues to empower young women to be their best selves. Because of them, I bleed blue. I thinkand do all things in threes. I believe in all things Trinity!

With this awesome mission, and in partnership with each of you, we have catapulted Trinity into the presentmoment! People stand in awe of all that we have been and all that we continue to be. Together, WE ARETRINITY!!! Together we have made an imprint on the lives of our young women. We believe. We celebrate. Weare awesome!

Thank you for your partnership, for your continued support, and for your sustaining friendship! In your name, Ihumbly accept this honor. Blessed am I to be a Trinity Blazer!

May each of us stay ever close to the heart of Trinity!

Michelle Germanson, O.P.President





A Letter From the President

Michel le Germanson, O.P.




Dear Friends of Trinity,

Welcome to Bal Dominique! This year is a very special one in the history of our event for we honor Sr. Michellefor her twenty years of devoted service to Trinity High School. During those twenty years Trinity has grown to be apremier school in the tradition of the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa and a pioneer in education in the Archdioceseof Chicago. Sister has led us as we adopted the International Baccalaureate Program and initiated blockscheduling. We have expanded our student population to the far reaches of both Chicago and the suburbs andwork to provide each Blazer with a strong Catholic education, a strong academic foundation, and a well-roundedexperience in athletics, fine arts, club activities, and service to others.

Each student is recognized as a unique individual and is actively involved in every facet of her education. Blazersstudy hard, amassing many academic awards and scholarships; they participate in athletics as members ormanagers of over ten athletic teams at the varsity, junior varsity and freshman levels; over fifty percent of the studentbody participates in some kind of fine arts activity, either in the performing or visual arts. Blazers participate in overforty clubs and every club performs some community service. Students travel to other countries either to aid thepoor, participate in field research or engage in cultural exchanges. Trinity students work toward responsibleparticipation in the global community in order to impact society, church and family. Many students engage in theseactivities as they work to help their parents and guardians pay for their Trinity education.

Now, more than ever, we need your support to continue the work we are doing with these fine young women. Itis our dream to assure that no student who wants a Trinity education will be denied that education due to hardeconomic times or their family's financial reverses. Many families depend upon two incomes to pay the tuition atthe same time that they are taking care of aging parents and helping other family members stay afloat. Ourgraduates become leaders in their communities, professionals who are either working in the helping professionsor working in business and volunteering in their spare time. They have been prepared for a life of service and feela strong obligation to help others. We need you to help them now, so that they can help others in the future.

Your support truly makes a difference in their lives as they carry on the Trinity tradition of servant leadership. Thankyou so much for helping us make this happen again this year.

Enjoy the evening!

Bal Dominique Past Chairs


This prestigious award honors a friend of the Trinitycommunity who is a leader in the development ofskills for lifelong learning, an ethic of care and adesire for excellence. This definition certainlydescribes this year's recipient, Sister Michelle.

Sister Michelle's association with Trinity beganwhen she accepted a position on the first Board ofDirectors in 1990. This board along with theadministration made the unanimous decision toremain a single-gender girls high school under theSinsinawa corporation.

After a careful study of the President/Principalmodel, relatively new to secondary education SisterMichelle Germanson, dean of students atDominican university, was offered the Presidency,first ever for Trinity High School in 1992.Moreover, Jeanne Bessette, OFS was offered the Principal position. Thankfully, both accepted and with determinationand board support they led the charge for change.

After an assessment of the state of the school, Michelle worked in partnership with the excellent Board of Directors todevelop strategy and prioritize goals. They took risks, stayed the course, and worked both internally and externally toalter negative perceptions, elevate academics, build spirit and engage community.

The Board was instrumental in supportingthe decision to adopt the InternationalBaccalaureate Program. Because of thephenomenal work of the Administrationand Faculty, Trinity was granted anInternational Baccalaureate SchoolCharter in 1994. Full block scheduling,which was adopted in 1995, supportedthis highly acclaimed educationalprogram. Trinity altered its admissionprocess by focusing academics solely on acollege preparatory curriculum. Talk aboutbold pioneers! The first IB Class graduatedin 1997 and these students proved by theirhigh level of achievement that IB was trulya definitive decision in Trinity's futuresuccess.

In 1996, the Technology Project was launched and with it the first major fundraising initiative since 1962. The goalwas to bring the dot.com world to Division and Lathrop. A new computer lab, desk top publishing, wiring the schoolfor computers, and computers for the library were projects that topped the list. The Technology Project wassuccessfully completed.

The Trinitarian AwardMichelle Germanson O.P.


Trinity Athletics were commanding even greater attention asdownstate status was attained by our 2002 Blazer basketballteam. Needing a larger facility, Sister Michelle and the Boardof Directors voted to engage in a Capital Campaign to builda state-of-the-art athletic facility. The facility was dedicatedin 2003 and named in her honor. The teams have notdisappointed and with ten sports and twenty-one teams,Trinity has achieved champion status in the Illinois HighSchool Athletics and Girls Catholic Athletic Conference. GOBLAZERS!

The acclaimed Fine Arts Program at Trinity garnered greatsupport from Michelle. In late 2003, it was apparent that thetechnical quality of productions was compromised. Throughefforts with donors and foundations, new light and soundboards were replaced and housed in the auditorium sound booth. upgrading this digital technology affordedTrinity students the opportunity and advantage of "hands on" learning, the skills associated with major productions.

Michelle began to work with an advisory team in 2006 toinvestigate building a Health and Fitness Center. This center,located in the Sister Micelle Germanson Athletic Facility, wouldaccommodate the need for healthy bodies and minds whilebuilding a culture of strength. After many designs, this facilitywas dedicated in the fall of 2011 and is available for everystudent's use!

Michelle is a person as quick moving and thinking as mercury.Before one project is completed she is already anticipating thehow, when, where and how fast the next endeavor will unfold!She has partnered with three wonderful principals, twelveboard chairs, twenty different boards and a dedicated andexceptionally talented faculty. She is devoted to the Trinity andholds the students and her Sinsinawa family in the highestregard as she works daily to fulfill the Mission.

Her effervescent personality is her signature. She is easilyrecognized with her TRINITY plates as she spreads joy throughoutChicagoland. She travels throughout the country visiting withalumnae, past parents and corporations.

For the past 20 years, Michelle has shared her visionfor Trinity. Her efforts are dedicated to educating youngwomen to learn and grow to be their best. Shecontinues to be our Bold Pioneer, our leader, aninspiration of faith, study, prayer, warmth and laughter.It is our honor, on behalf of all who so love Trinity, toconvey our deep gratitude for her contributions to thisamazing school.

Michelle is AWESOME and wonderful. We are forevergrateful for her decision to lead Trinity. She is truly anAmazing Trinitarian!
