Trina King

Trina King graduated from Boise State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, an endorsement in Early Childhood Education and an emphasis in Reading Education. She was blessed with the opportunity of teaching her first year as a grade two teacher at a small, private Anglican school in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, The Bahamas. This experience provided her with the test of dissecting and teaching a foreign curriculum with very little resources or materials and challenged her to learn how to meet the needs of all students without the luxuries of having support staff, a stocked supply room, unlimited Internet or a big box teaching store. Upon returning to Boise, Mrs. King eagerly joined the St. Joseph’s Catholic School Staff where she spent the next nine years learning and growing while teaching kindergarten, first and fifth grades. Mrs. King worked on a variety of teams and committees at St. Joe’s, was given the honor to serve as a mentor teacher to excited new staff members, and earned her Standard Catechist Certificate through Gonzaga University and the Catholic Parishes of the Treasure Valley. Mrs. King left the classroom in 2011, but remains an active volunteer and substitute teacher at St. Joseph’s. For the past six years, she has been blessed with the opportunity to stay home and teach a “class” of two enthusiastic boys who call her “Mom”. Mrs. King is overjoyed with the opportunity to serve on St. Ignatius Inaugural Leadership Team, and can’t wait to help “set the world on fire”!
