News From Admissions
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” – Proverbs 16:3
Hello there! I thought this copy of the Trinity Times would be a perfect opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Kate Lloyd and I am the new Admissions Director here at Trinity Lutheran School. I want to start off by stating how excited I am to be working here and am looking forward to making great changes over the next few months.
I have several initiatives in the pipeline that will be released in the next few months. Examples of objectives on my list consist of Meet the Team Fridays, Be a Buddy Campaign, Student Updates, School Happenings, Master Alumni Database, and more.
I’m particularly excited about the Master Alumni Database; I am very close to completing this list and will be putting a campaign in motion shortly after called “Calling all Alumni!” If you or someone you know went here, I ask that you mention this campaign so we can get everyone’s updated information as quickly as possible. My father, Douglas Lloyd, was excited about this project as well. He graduated from this great school in 1978 and has already started contacting his old classmates in support of this project.
As the Admissions Director of Trinity Lutheran, my main goal is to increase enrollment as well as put in place these innovative marketing initiatives. I strongly believe that with God’s guidance and the family-like environment here at Trinity we will be able to reach new highs with student enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year and beyond.
– Kate Lloyd, Admissions Director
