JT Lamberth recently volunteered to help build and deploy natural and artificial fishing reefs with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and Alabama Bass Nation High School. JT was part of 23 students who dropped bundles of Christmas Trees into the lake tied to cement blocks. They were supplementing the natural habitat in the bottom of the lake. These trees typically last about 4-6 years. This was a special event that JT got to participate in and we are so proud of him! Pictured with JT is Darryl High Director of Alabama Bass Nation.
Trinity Names Satcher Interim Head of School Trinity Presbyterian School has named Suzanne Satcher interim head of school as current Head of School Bill Shelnutt concludes his tenure at the end of the 2022-2023 school year. Mrs. Satcher will begin the transition into her new role in the coming weeks. Mrs. Satcher, a 23-year employee of the school, most recently served in the role of Director of Guidance & Assessment K-12 as both an academic and guidance counselor. She directs the school’s standardized, advanced placement, and related testing programs. Satcher is a member of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and the Alabama School Counselor Association (ALSCA). Mrs. Satcher originally joined the Trinity faculty as the Lower School Counselor, a position she held for 15 years. During that time, Mrs. Satcher spearheaded the school’s kindergarten admissions testing program and was instrumental in the development of the admissions department. “Mrs. Satcher’s 23 years of service as a Trinity educator has given her a deep understanding of our school and has equipped her with extensive knowledge of the principles, practices and methodologies necessary for the delivery of an exceptional Christ-centered education,” said Dr. David Stanley, chairman of the Trinity Presbyterian School Board of Trustees. “We are confident Mrs. Satcher is the right leader for this time.” In the coming months, Trinity’s Board of Trustees will initiate a search to identify a permanent head of school.
