Most Blessed Sacrament welcomes new Principal Trinette Stillman
Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School in Berlin, Md., announced new Principal Trinette Stillman is now at the helm.
After an extensive search last spring, Stillman was named the fourth principal to serve at the school in its 18 years of operation. Her background offers the perfect blend of experience to help the school continue to grow in the community.
“I pursued a package engineering degree from Michigan State University. After entering the workforce, I expanded on my education and received a MS in business degree from Johns Hopkins University,” said Stillman. “As my career evolved, so did my family. I married my husband, now of 27 years, and had three beautiful children. I was teaching religion classes at my parish when the principal asked if I would join them as their financial manager. That was the beginning of my educational experience. From there I began teaching science and math classes while pursuing my teaching credentials from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, Wis., and 22 years later, I continue to evolve in my career as I step into this new role. I’m proud to be a Catholic educator, and I’m excited to share my experiences with the MBS community.”
Leading the school into this next chapter, Stillman continues to gain a strong understanding of the vision and goals of MBS. This will enable her to help define the strengths and weaknesses, set future initiatives for growth and continue to enable MBS students to be high achievers.
When pulling together a team, Stillman said, “I believe in setting clear goals and expectations. Allowing for open, safe discussions while exploring these goals is crucial and allows for varying perspectives. Listening and developing respect for others helps create a supportive community and will allow for the best outcomes while achieving the goals.”
She added, “MBS is known for its dedicated teachers who are empowered to utilize a STREAM (science, technology, religion, engineering, art and mathematics) approach in their teaching. In addition, we rely on our families and volunteers to bring exciting opportunities to our students. We are hoping this year that we can further develop these initiatives.
“One of the most amazing discoveries for me has been the welcoming atmosphere at MBS and the local community. Their desire to build a Christ-centered community that empowers their children to become lifelong learners and confident, faith-filled leaders is inspiring,” she said.
