The focus of this edition is to highlight the new additions to our High School Team of staff.  We are so pumped for what lies ahead for us all at TCS!

Taylor Bouma - Biology

My name is Taylor Bouma and I am from Mount Airy, North Carolina. I attended college at The University of Alabama. I was a Young Life leader for 4 years and that really helped me discover my love and passion for sharing the gospel with students. I majored in Exercise Science which helped foster my love of science. I am super excited to join the Trinity family and see what the Lord has in store for the 2021-2022 school year! Roll Tide!

Isabella Causey - Physical and Environmental Science

My name is Isabella Causey and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Science from Clemson University. I previously served as a volunteer for the Saint Frances Animal Center and served as a member of the CURE Organization at Clemson University. I thoroughly enjoyed being a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Clemson University as well as serving alongside students and peers that were growing in their personal relationship with Christ. Although I reside in Atlanta now, I grew up in Georgetown, South Carolina which is located on the beautiful coastline between Charleston and Myrtle Beach. Coming on board to TCS is an answer to my prayers and I am eager to impact the lives of the students in my classes and across the TCS community. 

Christy Faircloth - Honors/AP Sciences

My name is Christy Faircloth.  I was born and raised in California, where I earned my degree in Exercise Biology from the University of California, Davis.  After working several years as a personal trainer, I realized I wanted to be a teacher.  I went back to school and earned my teaching credential in High School Science.  My husband, Richard, brought me to his home state of Georgia 5 years ago.   Trinity has always had an amazing reputation, and I am truly blessed to be part of the family. I cannot imagine a better place to work and have my children in school.  I look forward to getting to know all the staff, parents, and students. 

Kayla Freund - Health/Fitness

My name is Kayla Freund, I’ve lived all over the US, but I’ve been in Newnan for 15 years. I went to Northgate High School, then graduated Cum Laude from Piedmont College with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise & Sport Science with a minor in Biology. 

 For the past two years, I’ve been the assistant Girls’ Lacrosse coach here, and I feel so honored to step into the head coaching position. I’m equally excited to be the head coach of our new Girls’ Flag Football team — there’s something so special about that first, inaugural season.

 In personal and professional experiences, I’ve learned that health is all-encompassing: mind, body, soul, and spirit. My goal is to teach students that we should be proud not of what our bodies look like, but of what God has created our bodies to do. 

Kyle Hilliard -  World History

My name is Kyle Hilliard, and I am currently a resident of Locust Grove, Georgia. I grew up in a very small town in southwest Georgia where I received my High School diploma from Schley County High School. I am a graduate of Georgia Southwestern State University. Additionally, I am currently working on my Master’s degree at Westminster Theological Seminary. I am married to my beautiful wife, Olivia, and we share our place of living with our Labrador retriever, Milo. I am very excited to begin this new journey with Trinity Christian. Correspondingly, I look forward to meeting each and every one of you in the near future.

Devin James - Chemistry and Anatomy

My name is Devin James, and I was born and raised in Griffin, GA.  In undergraduate school I majored in Biology at Lagrange College, and swam all four years.  After graduation, I went on to graduate level courses in Parasitology at Valdosta State University.  I spent the next several years teaching, coaching and spreading my love of swimming and science.  Most recently I've been working in a clinical lab. I have a beautiful wife named Noel and we are expecting our first baby boy in September.  

Natalie King - Lit

Hi! My name is Natalie King, and I am so excited to join the Trinity Christian School community. Originally, I am from Sacramento, California—and I hold strongly to my title as a California Girl—but I have lived in the peachy state of Georgia since high school. 

I am so proud to have earned both a Bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education and a minor in Creative Writing at University of West Georgia, and look forward to using my skills to help your students flourish.

At home, I spend my time reading Fantasy / Sci-Fi novels, cuddling with my twelve-year-old cat, Gracie Lou Freebush, and keeping my six-year-old pointer mix, Kingsley King, out of trouble.

I look forward to working with all of you this coming year and helping your students find their voices through the written word.

Anna Maupin - Lit

I am a native of Georgia and grew up in Peachtree City! I graduated from Columbia International University and the University of South Carolina, and have taught English (high school and middle school) for the past 15 years. Additionally,  I have been a professional editor for the last 25 years.  My husband, Tony, and I have seven children, two of whom will be seniors at TCS this year!  I love to read and write and am so very excited to share that love with my students! 

Morgin Ross - Receptionist

I am a native of Fayette County and graduated from Georgia State University with a B.F.A with an emphasis in Interior Design. I have worked for two small design firms on the northside of Atlanta, started my own design business, and then taught art at a private Christian school. I am excited to join the Trinity family. My husband, Roby, joined the TCS team of staff last year in middle school PE and coaching football. We have 2 children,Jackson will be in the 9th grade and our daughter Avery will be in the 7th grade. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, DIY, and design projects.
