- Initial challenges and roadblocks that stood in the way of Trinity Hall opening its door, specifically as an All-Girls institution while participating in a predominantly Male-dominated "Club"

- Non-traditional challenges such as lack of support by the diocese to open a religious institution and enduring multiple rounds of frivolous land use lawsuits

- Educational standards and how the competition of higher funded institutions made it nearly impossible for Trinity Hall to open its doors. The great task of finding the right leaders and team to make a prominent program excel.
