Alumni News and Events

Our Sixth Graders were excited to welcome Trinity alum Wiley Ballard ’06 back on campus for a special visit on November 4, 2024. Wiley shared fond memories of his time at Trinity and discussed the meaningful impact it has had on his journey. A sports broadcaster, he inspired our students with insights into the research and preparation that goes into every broadcast, along with essential tips for excelling as a public speaker. Wiley emphasized the importance of strong and engaging communication skills across various careers.

Wiley inspired members of the Sixth Grade Leadership Class to “just keep running” and persevere through challenges. These lessons, instilled in him by Coach Brian Balocki, who has been a part of Trinity since 1993, left a lasting impact. We’re grateful for Wiley’s ongoing connection to our school.

In January 2023, Samar Kibe and James Rhee, two members of Trinity’s Class of 2018, were selected for Atlanta Intown and Reporter Newspapers’ 14th annual 20 Under 20 list. The honorees are local students ages 19 and younger who are nominated, selected, then celebrated for giving back to the community in meaningful and significant ways. Samar was chosen for his role in co-creating The Lovett School’s Mental Health Liaisons, “bringing attention to student mental health and training peer liaisons who can create student-directed programming around mental health and serve as links between students and counseling staff.” James was honored for helping underserved individuals. In 2017, he and his sister, Julia Rhee, a member of Trinity’s Class of 2015, founded Double Play, which collects and provides sports equipment to underserved athletes locally and internationally. In 2021 and in partnership with Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, James founded Triple Play to educate underserved students on money management, using the knowledge he has gained from running Double Play.
