Dear Trinity Family,
    I have been involved in educating children – from elementary level students through high school since 1971.  Most of my career has been as a music teacher, but presently I am Assistant Principal at Trinity.  Although music is a true passion for me, I have found it to be very exciting to work with parents and teachers in striving for the complete education of our children. 
     Originally from East Tennessee, I have taught in Louisville, Kentucky, Coco Beach, Florida, Nashville, and Franklin, Tennessee.  My husband is on the music faculty at Belmont University and teaches music history. My daughter, Sylvia, is finishing up her doctorate in organic chemistry at Georgia Tech and my son, James, works at BMI on music row in Nashville.  I have a wonderful grandson, Wilson, who gives our family great joy.
     I hope that you have found Trinity to be a caring school.  Our attention is focused on the complete child, assisting and guiding every student to be his/her best academically, socially, and emotionally.  We hold positive character traits in high standing and encourage students, teachers, and staff to model these traits.
     We have a wonderful staff who believes in the goals and mission of our school.  They are a joy to work with and daily show to us and to their students their passion for what they do.
     The administration and staff of Trinity are here to assist you in any way that we can.  

Marilyn Shadinger,
Assistant Principal
