New Board members have deep Trinity roots
By Margaret Douglas, Director of Advancement
Trinity’s Board of Trustees welcomes four new members this year. We thank each of them for their commitment to Trinity’s mission and vision for the future.
Catherine Humann Callaway ’97
A member of Trinity’s Class of 1997, Catherine Humann Callaway currently serves as the President of the Trinity School Alumni Board. She and her husband, TJ, are the proud parents of Trinity Pre-K student Jane and two-year-old daughter Pace. Catherine says, “I am honored to have been asked to join the Trinity School Board of Trustees. I believe that parent involvement in their children’s schools and education is so very important, and I am thrilled to be able to invest my time and support Trinity in this way.” She believes that Trinity’s emphasis on elementary education is by far the School’s greatest strength, and it is truly a magical place for children. “To say that they make learning fun is an understatement,” says Catherine. “During the school year, our daughter wakes up sad on the weekends because she doesn’t get to spend the day at Trinity.”
Catherine and TJ are proud and grateful to be members of the Trinity community, and the School is grateful and excited about what Catherine’s leadership will bring to the Board. In addition to her board positions at Trinity, Catherine volunteers with Spotlight on Art and the Trinity School Parents’ Association (TSPA). She also serves on the alumni board and advancement committee of the board of directors at The Westminster Schools.
After Trinity, Catherine attended Westminster, then the University of Georgia. Her professional background includes fundraising for the High Museum of Art and Skyland Trail, and she currently serves as an advisor to her family’s foundation, The Humann Family Foundation.
Melissa Moseley
Melissa Moseley and her husband, Allen Moseley ’81, have three daughters: Trinity graduates Helen ’16 and Caroline ’19 and current Fifth Grader Charlotte.
The family has been connected to the School for many years. Allen, a member of the Class of 1981, previously served as the Chairman of Trinity’s Board of Trustees. “Allen and I have a deep affection for Trinity School,” says Melissa. “It has played an important role in the early development of our children.” Melissa is excited for the opportunity to help chart the School’s strategic path, and Trinity is deeply grateful for her leadership and commitment to the School.
She believes that Trinity appreciates the need to build character and teach resilience with the right balance of support, while pushing students to stretch their own boundaries and explore their curiosities.
“One of Trinity’s greatest strengths is its emphasis on the whole child. Beyond simply focusing on academic achievement and pursuits, they emphasize students’ unique talents and gifts,” says Melissa.
Melissa has been a very active parent volunteer at Trinity and has served in many leadership roles, including President of TSPA, Chair of Spotlight on Art 2018, and Grade Level Representative (GLR). Outside of Trinity, Melissa serves on the Agape Youth and Family Center advisory board and is a very active member of The National Charity League, a non-profit community service organization for mothers and daughters.
Melissa was raised in Lexington, Kentucky, and graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Journalism. She moved to Atlanta in 1996, when she joined a public relations firm working on the Olympics. She went on to run the technology practice for Grey Global Advertising in Atlanta.
Street Nalley
Street Nalley and his wife, Stephanie, are the proud parents of three Trinity children: Early Learner Miles; Third Grader West; and Taylor, who completed the Fifth Grade at Trinity last spring and began her new journey at The Lovett School this fall. Street says, “What excites me the most about joining the Trinity School Board of Trustees is being able to take part in our children’s school and education in a more meaningful way. Trinity is a special place for our family, and I’m honored and humbled to be a part of it.”
His favorite aspects of Trinity are the culture, the feeling you get when you are on campus, and the “secret sauce” that makes the School great. Street says, “Our kids pop out of the car in the morning ready to take on the day, and that makes us feel like we have found a nurturing place for our kids to thrive. Trust me, for a Nalley to run to school is certainly unique!”
Both Street and Stephanie have been active parent volunteers at Trinity. This year, they are serving as Chairs of the Trinity Parent Fund after many years of serving as Class Callers and Grade Captains. Stephanie also spends time volunteering for Spotlight on Art and in the classroom. Street serves as Vice President of SONS Automotive Group in Atlanta and is a graduate of the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia.
David Overend ’86
David Overend’s history with Trinity School runs deep. A member of the School’s Class of 1986, he is the parent of a Trinity graduate, John ’19, and two current students, Fourth Grader Harry and Third Grader Rebecca. David and his wife, Willson, have watched the School grow and evolve over the years. He is excited to join the Board of Trustees, which is tasked with guiding Trinity in the years to come. The School is incredibly fortunate to have David’s leadership and commitment as a new member of the Board.
“I believe that we have some of the best and most dedicated teachers around as evidenced by their flexibility and ability to innovate during these unpredictable past several months,” says David. “The teachers are the School’s greatest strength.”
David and Willson have been active volunteers at Trinity, including their roles as Parent Fund Chairs for the 2019–20 Trinity Fund. David also served for many years on the Trinity School Alumni Board, including a term as President. After graduating from Trinity, David went to The Westminster Schools. He received his bachelor’s degree from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, and he serves on the Rhodes College alumni board. David then earned a Master of Business Administration from The Goizueta Business School at Emory University and spent more than 15 years working in fundraising analytics for The American Cancer Society and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
