Meet Mrs. Enielle Nelson  |  K-5 Principal

It is an honor and privilege to be here serving the students, families, and community as Principal. I feel very fortunate and blessed to partner with an amazing staff to provide each child the best educational experience possible. This will be my 25th year in education working with students in kindergarten through 12th grade. I’ve spent 11 of those years serving as an administrator at the elementary and secondary level, as well as at the central office level. I began my career as a special education teacher in Greenville, Mississippi  where I was born and raised. I later moved to Washington State and continued my career in education. I earned my Bachelor and Master degree in Special Education from Delta State University in Cleveland, MS. I also attended Western Washington University to obtain my certification in Educational Leadership. 

I lived in Washington State for 21 years and I recently moved to this great community to be closer to my family. I have two amazing children. My daughter, Jayla is 21 and my son Jaden is 15. Jaden will be attending Trinity as a 10th grade student and he is very excited that we are making this transition together. Jayla is working in the field of dentistry as a dental assistant. She will continue to work at her current job in Washington State. My children have taught me that each child is an individual and one size does not fit all. They have also taught me to be a better listener to the things that are spoken and unspoken. It is my intention to remember this when I am serving and supporting your children each day. 

This elementary principalship will provide me the opportunity to work collaboratively with the Trinity Leadership Elementary staff, while also connecting with students and families.. I do believe this is going to be a fantastic school year and  I am very excited to join this great community.  I look forward to meeting each of you very soon.
