The first time Eddie Murphy came into the club, he was only 18 and had a little too much attitude. A few days later, he apologized and we gave him a shot. Saturday Night Live soon followed and the rest is show biz history. Eddie in turn discovered Chris Rock at The Comic Strip one night. Rolling Stone magazine recently described Rock's career as "ballistic." Like so many acts, television Superstar Jerry Seinfeld worked for many years at the Comic Strip. Everybody called Seinfeld "Doctor Comedy" because there wasn't a bit Jerry couldn't fix. Paul Reiser was asked by a fellow Comic Strip performer to accompany him to a film audition.

Serving grades 9 through 12, this Manhattan institution has operated since 1914 under a remarkable founding principle: education without tuition barriers. A generous benefactor's vision continues to fuel the school's mission, channeling resources directly toward Catholic young men across the New York area who show both sharp minds and genuine leadership qualities. Admissions deliberately prioritize students whose families couldn't otherwise access a rigorous Catholic education. The Jesuit backbone shapes everything here—pushing students intellectually while weaving in deep commitments to service and community care. The curriculum balances demanding academics with spiritual formation centered on Christian values and personal growth. Walking these winter-quiet hallways, you'll notice the genuine ethnic diversity of the student body, all preparing for roles that extend beyond their classrooms into churches, civic spheres, and professions. The school's real strength lies in cultivating resourceful thinkers who actually want to lead with purpose and conscience, not just credentials.

K-12. Trinity's mission, stated in carefully considered terms, is essentially to provide its students with a setting—intellectual, moral, and physical—in which they can pursue the elements of a liberal education. We understand the idea of liberal education in different ways, all of us, but I'm pretty sure we could agree on a small number of things that are necessary to it: reading and writing accurately and truthfully; being curious and critical-minded; opening our minds to the ideas of others; questioning authority; maintaining self-respect and respect for the other. It is an endless project. Its ideals are woven through the ideals of democracy. I've come to think that, beyond the ideal of learning for its own sake, for the love of it, a liberal education serves politics. The political question is something like, "What is one to do with one's power?" How Trinity goes about the business of a liberal education is our way of answering that question.
