Join us as we celebrate the personal milestones of Trinity School’s faculty and staff in this recurring feature.

Born and raised in Jamaica, Upper Elementary Math Specialist Kerry Coote was a Canadian citizen when she first came to the United States in 2008 to earn her bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Kennesaw State University. On October 22, 2021, 13 years after becoming a U.S. resident, Kerry received her American citizenship. She and her husband, Howard, who was also born and raised in Jamaica, have two daughters at Trinity, Fourth Grader Emma and Third Grader Morgan. Kerry says that she and Howard think of life as a series of opportunities for their girls, and before Kerry became an American citizen, she wanted to make sure Emma and Morgan were citizens of both the United States and Canada. At Trinity since 2012, Kerry is currently working on a Certificate in Instructional Leadership from Harvard.
