<p>“As Holy Trinity has grown in the range of grades offered as well as in the size of our student body, we have anticipated this new position that will provide oversight, vision, and shepherding of the Upper School faculty and student body,” founding Headmaster Rev. Chad E. Lawrence wrote in a letter to Holy Trinity parents earlier this month. “We have prayed that the Lord would provide the person of His choosing for this important position, and in His graciousness He has provided. So, we are pleased to formally announce that the Rev. Joseph A. Lawrence has answered this call.</p>

<p>“‘Prof.,’ as he is affectionately called around here, and his wife, Joette, and their three children, Samantha, Sophia, and Andrew are no strangers to the Holy Trinity community. But, as a gifted teacher, strong proponent of classical Christian education, and dedicated under-shepherd to the Good Shepherd, we are most confident and hopeful for the future of our school as Dean Lawrence develops this brand-new position.”</p>
