As Trinitas celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, we are delighted to welcome a number of new faces to our school community. In addition to more than a dozen new families, we are welcoming several new faculty members and one new administrator to the Trinitas community. We thank God for his blessings on our school and are eager to introduce these fine folks to you.
Mrs. Leah Poole (Three-Day Junior Kindergarten) 
A.A. in Business, A.S. in Hospitality and Tourism Management, and an A.S. in Culinary Management, Pensacola State College
Mrs. Poole is a Trinitas Legacy parent. She graduated from Trinitas Christian School in 2008 and has four children enrolled ranging from Jr. Kindergarten to 5th grade. Although she has been a part of the Trinitas family for many years, this will be her first year teaching in the classroom.
Mrs. Poole enjoys swimming and riding bikes with her husband Julian and the kids. She also loves cooking for family and friends and has recently taken up gardening as a hobby.
Mrs. Janine Warmouth (Kindergarten)
B.S., University of Tennessee, Knoxville; M.Ed. in Special Education, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga
Mrs. Warmouth's first introduction to classical Christian education came in 1999 as she and her husband were investigating educational options for their children. They found a wonderful school in our hometown and immediately thought “I wish I would have gotten this kind of education.” That same year she attended her first ACCS conference and started teaching kindergarten.
Over the last 23 years, she has taught kindergarten, second grade, and third grade in well-established classical schools. The opportunity to be involved in the classical movement has been one of the greatest gifts of her life. She is grateful to the Lord for the things she has learned and for the many children she has been allowed to spend time with.
In addition to teaching in the classroom, she has had the opportunity to present faculty and parent education classes in several classical, Christian schools around the country. She also has two children who have both been blessed with receiving a K-12 classical, Christian education and her daughter has gone on to pursue Latin at New Saint Andrews College.
Mrs. Warmouth considers it a privilege and blessing to now have the opportunity to love and serve families at Trinitas Christian School.
Mr. Caleb Smith (6th Grade)
B.A. in Ministry Studies, Baptist College of Florida; M.Litt in Classical Protestantism, Davenant Institute (in progress)
Caleb Smith has loved school and learning from childhood. After graduating from college, he began searching for a chance to join the project of classical Christian education which he had recently discovered with delight and interest. By long and winding providence, this search finally led him to Trinitas. With his wife Ashley and their seven children, he dwells blessed in Milton, Florida.
Mr. Adam Strickler (Greek I)
Studied Liberal Arts, New Saint Andrews College; B.S. in Engineering, University of West Florida (in progress)
Adam Strickler attended Trinitas from kindergarten to 12th grade, graduating in 2019.
