  By 1923, a 7th grade was added to the elementary classes that already existed, and enrollment was 70 students. Enrollment was not limited to Catholic families but was open to all families in the area. A new school building, which housed a new co-ed high school was added in 1930, and by 1936 total enrollment had grown to 328 students. The Academy was co-ed until about 1945, when the boys' program was discontinued because of a lack of athletic facilities. The high school closed in 1963 and the elementary school closed in 1977. In 1947, Saint Christopher Church, which serves residents east of Ashland Avenue, was founded and its school opened in 1948. Starting with the 1979-80 school year, the parishes of Saint Margaret, Our Lady of Victory and Saint Christopher combined enrollments under the name of Trinity School.  All the grades have been located at Trinity School, the former Saint Christopher School, at 1381 Ida Ave., the corner of Ida Avenue and Grandview Avenue. Residents of this area since the 1950s have sent their high school age students to Bishop Watterson High School and later to Bishop Ready High School.
