Hello Trivium Families!

Welcome to the 4th and final quarter of the year! I hope your spring break was spent well with friends and family and that you were able to make time and space for much needed rest and leisure.

As you know, we have been in a long search for a permanent athletic director. I am incredibly grateful for Mr. Jones’ willingness to step up the interim, which turned into 4 months, and for all of his hard work in the athletics department – it is truly a daunting task to step into such a role, especially mid-year.

I am reaching out today with excellent news and to make an introduction. The search has taken time, because I have been committed to finding someone who has the skill, dedication, and heart to lead Trivium Athletics into its next phase of life, and that requires a particular kind of person. Additionally, I am unwilling to settle or compromise for anything but the best for our student athletes.

However, I am delighted to share that as of just a few days before break began, Mr. Derek Wahlstrom agreed to be our new Athletic Director! Mr. Wahlstrom comes to us with over 30 years of experience in athletics and education – as teacher, coach, and athletic director. His experience has been primarily in Phoenix, so he is also well-connected and incredibly well-respected in the athletics community. I even received one or two phone calls after hiring him simply to let us know what a good leader and a good man he is.

I am beyond excited to see what Mr. Wahlstrom and his team will accomplish here at Trivium in the years to come.

So, please join me in thanking Mr. Jones for his service and in welcoming Mr. Wahlstrom to the team! GO KNIGHTS!

Warmly,

Headmaster Schutten
