Mr. Kerrick Sawyer  / Principal

principal@greenbaytrinity.org

Hello there! It’s great to be close to what I considered home for many years, Michigan. Although, my true home is Hong Kong.  Both my parents are LCMS educators. My mom was a teacher, and my dad is a pastor. Currently he is serving as principal at a brother school at Lakeland, Florida. In my youth, my parents joined the mission field, and I spent my formative years overseas, growing to call Hong Kong home. I attended a LCMS international school from 4th grade to graduation, Hong Kong International School (HKIS). I went to Concordia University Nebraska and received two licenses in education, elementary education and mild/moderate disabilities special education. My first call was to Anchor Lutheran in Alaska. I served there for many years when I received a call to serve as principal at Peace Lutheran in Washington. While in Washington, I completed my master’s degree back at CUNE. I’m a bulldog through and through.  Now, I’m here!  I’m passionate about educational technology and the incorporation of STEM into lessons. I enjoy giving students the opportunity to get their hands dirty and intentionally break things. In my free time, I brew my own beer, camp, and enjoy gaming (board or video).  I look forward to meeting everyone. Please grant me a little grace at getting names and faces down, I will get there.  My favorite verse is Ephesians 3:20-21. It reminds me to take a step back and pray when I think I need to do it all myself. The power and glory are His, not mine and God will see it through. He always does.

Mrs. Robin Paul  /  1st grade

Greetings!  I have been involved with the LCMS Lutheran Ministry ever since I can remember.  My earliest memories are of attending Camp Luther as child.  I was blessed to work there as a Junior Counselor, Summer Counselor and Full Time Program Director.  After Camp Luther, I taught in the Lutheran School System in Green Bay and the surrounding areas.

She is married and has two children. She graduated from University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a bachelor degree in Science in Education. She intentionally strives to help students be smarter than they were yesterday, everyday!  When she is not teaching she is likely coaching basketball.

Mrs. Courtney Tisdale/ 3rd Grade

“Grüß Gott, my name is Courtney Tisdale, and I am the third grade teacher here at Trinity. I am originally from Long Island, New York but I have lived in several places most of my adult life to include Colorado, Hawaii, and Germany. I have been married to my amazing husband, Aaron, for almost 20 years and we have been blessed with 5 “out of this world” children (18, 15, 14, 11, 9). My husband will be retiring from the United States Army after 22 years of service so we decided to settle down here in  Wisconsin. Teaching is truly something I am called to do and I am happiest in the classroom working with my students! When I am not in the classroom, I am on an adventure with my family, playing one of my ukulele’s or doing something creative.”

Mrs. Emily Karbash  /  4th Grade

My name is Emily Karbash. I am the 3^rd & 4^th grade teacher and 5^th & 6^th grade reading teacher. I attended Concordia University of Wisconsin in Mequon and received a degree in Elementary Education in 2015. Before coming to Trinity, I taught first grade at Iowa Great Lakes Lutheran School in Spencer, IA for 2 years. In August of 2017, I married my husband, Zac Karbash. My hobbies include reading, hiking, kayaking, and being with my family and friends. I love teaching with an amazing faculty and staff at Trinity and being able to share the Word of God with His children every day!

Miss Victoria Mueller 7th and 8th Grade

muellerv@greenbaytrinity.org 

Hi!  I love teaching middle schoolers and am very excited to be part of the ministry at Trinity.  I am originally from a small town in Illinois.  I attended Concordia University Wisconsin and graduated with a degree in elementary education and a minor in math.  I have taught at three other Lutheran schools throughout my career, St. Paul in Cincinnati, Ohio for 7 1/2 years, Immanuel in Freeport, Illinois for 13 years, and Cross in Yorkville, Illinois for 1 year.  All of these schools and students I have had through the years have molded me into the teacher that I am today.  Each school and every student has been a blessing in my life, and I thank God for them all.  When I am not teaching or grading papers, I love to read, chill at home with my dog while watching movies, and spend time with family and friends.  I look forward to each day I get to spend with my students as we witness all that God has done and continues to do for us.    My favorite Bible verse – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 – Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
