Teacher Endowment Named for Retired Trinity Educator
December 04, 2025
In honor of retired Trinity teacher Cary Dufresne, an endowment has been established to support Trinity's teacher retention initiatives.
The endowment was the result of an anonymous donor's generosity and commitment to ensuring Trinity recruits and retains excellent educators.
“It is a meaningful investment that honors the incredible impact of one teacher while inspiring the next generation of outstanding faculty who will follow in her footsteps,” said Chief Advancement Officer Katie Keels.
Mrs. Dufresne dedicated 14 years of service to Trinity, retiring in June 2025 as a 2nd Grade teacher. She is also the parent of two Trinity alumni: Louise TES ‘05 and Mason TES ’09.
Keels said the endowment donor shared that Mrs. Dufresne made an impact on their family and wanted to honor her with a gift that would impact other Trinity educators.
Teacher retention is one of the priorities of the True North capital campaign, which will grow Trinity's existing endowment and provide the financial framework to increase teacher salaries at Trinity. To learn more about True North, click here.
