Honoring the Legacy of Reverend Charles Robert Nielsen

As Trinity Collegiate School enters the final stretch of the 2025–2026 academic year, we pause to recognize and honor one of the true founders of our school, Reverend Charles Robert Nielsen.

Father Bob, alongside a dedicated group of Board Members, benefactors, and patrons, shared a bold vision: to establish an independent school rooted in academic excellence that would provide students across the Pee Dee Region with expanded educational opportunities and a stronger pathway to college success.

Their belief in the power of education became the very foundation upon which Trinity Collegiate School was built.

Today, we continue that mission through the Father Bob Nielsen Financial Assistance Fund, which supports deserving and well-qualified families seeking a Trinity education but requiring financial assistance to make that opportunity possible.

Every gift made in honor of Father Bob directly impacts students and families whose lives are enriched through the values and experiences that define our school community.

At Trinity Collegiate School, Loyalty, Honor, and Perseverance are more than words — they are the enduring hallmarks of our ethos and the principles that guide our students each day.

We invite you to join us in honoring Father Bob’s legacy through your generous support. Your contribution helps ensure that the promise of a Trinity education remains accessible to future generations of students who will lead, serve, and succeed.
