It's time-consuming, but there are great resources to learn high school math to a very high level (likely much more effectively in many cases, than actually taking a high school math course, due to thoughtful exercises and more control over the pace of learning).

I learned a lot from the Art of Problem Solving book series because they're highly focused on the reader solving problems to learn, versus giving explanations. Even if you don't finish all of it, you can strengthen any problem areas.

For a less-comprehensive but still great introduction to precalculus (with a great section on trigonometry in particular from memory), Simmons' Precalculus in a Nutshell has a great introduction to this. Then you can read a book like Thomas Calculus, which has a great introduction to trigonometry in the first review chapter.

I would even say that you would be better off working through the books above than if you had the high school classes; the best math students probably took the same approach too (working through books instead of focusing just on the class material). The main obstacle is time, because it's hard to find time when you have work and children to take care of.
