Our Inspiration

School Spirit Pays honors the incredible legacy of Jim and Mary Trentini, two high school educators whose generosity impacted countless lives before they were tragically lost on September 11, 2001 in the attacks of 9-11. Like many teachers, they believed small acts of support at the right time could forever change young people's futures. Founded by their surviving family, School Spirit Pays celebrates their lives, upholds their commitment to education, and ensures their spirit of giving continues to uplift students and educators across The United States of America.
