At NHI, we practice living in a creative decision-making process that celebrates our community. Students can expect to cultivate relationships with students from all areas of the United States and Latin America, engage in life-changing experiences, and get to explore their Corpus Christi regional identity.

The NHI Corpus Christi region engages 9th, 10th, and 11th-grade students in a journey of discovery, dialogue, and leadership. Participants learn to express ideas, analyze community challenges, and collaborate with peers to create a vision for a better future. NHI Corpus Christi prides themselves in treating all NHI’ers like family and generating a pipeline of leadership who embody NHI’s legacy.

About Trinity University

Trinity University

Trinity University is located in San Antonio Texas. Home to more than 2,500 students, Trinity is rooted in the liberal arts and sciences with pre-professional programs. The University is guided by a mission and set of values that place the student experience at its core. As a community that both honors our past and shapes our future, we strive to live our values in everything we do. Trinity’s history of excellence began in 1869, when Cumberland Presbyterians sought to create a "University of the Highest Order." Founders built upon a bedrock of resilience, innovation, and a passion for student wellbeing. More than 150 years later, Trinity continues to instill the confidence and curiosity needed to answer questions and question answers.
