“Chris will provide a seamless transition for Trinity Elementary,” said Sharber. “She has been a teacher and administrator in our district for several years so she will be able to carry on the traditions of excellence and community established at Trinity.”

“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as the next principal of Trinity Elementary.  Trinity is a great school with a very talented staff and it will be my privilege to work with such a dedicated group of professionals,” said Schwartz. “I will sincerely miss the faculty, staff, students and families at Bethesda; however, I am also eager to begin building a partnership with the wonderful teachers, students and families at Trinity.” 

Schwartz holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Illinois Wesleyan, 1991; a Master’s in Elementary Education from the University of West Florida, 1997; and an Education Specialist’s Degree in Administration and Supervision from Middle Tennessee State University, 2004.
