"The parishes of Saint Helen, Our Lady of Lourdes, and Holy Trinity began cosponsoring the school in 1991. The school site remained at Holy Trinity while the governance was shared by the three pastors. The Mountainside Campus of Holy Trinity Interparochial School opened in September 2002 in an existing building at Our Lady of Lourdes.... Holy Trinity School removed the 'Interparochial' designation in 2017 when the Archdiocese took on more administrative oversight of all its schools and the three co-sponsoring parishes took on more of a spiritual leadership role and less of an administrative one."</ref>
