This 2025–26 school year, Trinity welcomes Dr. Nick Easter to its teaching and athletic coaching staff. Easter brings 16 years of teaching and tech industry experience. He currently teaches AP Computer Science and serves as an offensive line coach for the freshman football team.

Before joining Trinity, Dr. Easter spent several years working in software development and coaching, experiences that influence his teaching style today. He said, “I think a lot of my classroom management and discipline style comes from coaching.” He also added, “It helps that I get to see the kids I teach out on the field. There’s a great connection that comes from seeing students in different environments.”

Teaching runs in Easter’s family. His mother, a teacher herself, played a pivotal role in shaping his career path. “I remember being in her classroom before and after school. It inspired me to follow in her footsteps,” he said.

The transition to Trinity was unique for Easter, given the difference from his last school. “There were a lot more socio-economic and behavioral issues, even gang problems and violence,” he recalled. “It was a tough environment, and the contrast with Trinity is pretty stark.”

Despite the challenges at his previous school, Easter is looking forward to his future at Trinity. “I’m looking forward to teaching AP classes here. I didn’t have the chance to do so last year.”

He explained that he didn’t have much flexibility in his past school and was “drawn not only to the academic programs but also to the faith-based values and traditions.” He continued, “I appreciate the culture and religious foundation, as well as the vision of raising men of faith and character. That helped me make the decision to come here.”

Lastly, Easter shared the words he tries to live by every day:
“Everything you do, give 100% effort. Even if you make a mistake, give 100% effort. Then you fix it — that’s how you grow.”

Dr. Easter’s passion for teaching, wealth of experience, and commitment to excellence make him a valuable addition to Trinity’s brotherhood.
