As staculty members prepared to begin their summer break, they gathered for a special Chapel service to celebrate their colleagues’ milestones at Trinity.

Each milestone year was commemorated with a unique gift, tied with a red string to signify staculty's connections with each other and to Trinity.

Head of School Imana Sherrill noted all the ways staculty members serve Trinity beyond their job roles, from leading Lower School Tribes and Middle School Koinonias, to coaching and agreeing to be the Wildcat mascot from time to time.

“Thank you for the ways you show up for our students and for each other,” Sherrill said.
