Gillianne Jones

Day School Director

How wonderful it is to begin my third year at HTEDS! I moved here in 2022 from Mobile, AL where I attended college and met my husband, Willis. We have a 7 month old daughter, Isabelle. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in K-6 Elementary Education and my Master’s in Early Childhood Education from the University of South Alabama. While working on my Masters as well as after graduating, I worked as a 3k teacher at St. Paul’s Episcopal Early Education Center and loved every second! I most recently served as the Curriculum Coordinator at Grove Hill Academy in Auburn. Teaching children at this young age and fostering their love of learning and love of Jesus has been such a privilege and I am so thankful to get to continue this work at the day school. I look forward to getting to know all of the families that make up this sweet community!

Meet our wonderful teachers!

Lori Hunter

Kindergarten Teacher

It is a joy and an honor to begin my first-year teaching Kindergarten at Holy Trinity. I moved to Auburn in June of last year from Eagle River, Alaska. My husband, Ben, and I have three wonderful daughters: Addie (22), Lilli (20), and Cami (17). We are also excited to soon become a foster family. I graduated from Auburn University with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. Since marrying my husband in 2003, I have had the privilege of teaching in various locations as we followed his military career serving our country as an active-duty Special Operations soldier in the United States Army. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors, walking our two doodles, cheering on Auburn athletics, and serving our community. I am truly looking forward to getting to know each of the students and families and to a fun, exciting, and memorable school year at Holy Trinity!!

Ingrid Crawford

Kindergarten Teacher

I’m so blessed to be teaching kindergarten at Holy Trinity for my third year. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Auburn University in Early Childhood Education. I taught 2nd grade and kindergarten for several years before becoming a stay at home mom when our daughter, Kierstin (16) was born. My husband, David and I have been married for 19 years and also have Crew (13) and Jonah(4), who we adopted this year. We moved to Auburn ten years ago and hope to never leave. I’ve had the privilege of teaching part time at WMR and AEEC for a couple of years as well as a substitute for HTEDS. Kierstin and Crew both attended this sweet school and had an amazing experience! I’m so thankful they were nurtured, taught and loved all while pointing to Christ. I look forward to doing the same with my precious kindergarteners while making the best memories!

Karen Yendle

Pre-K Teacher

My name is Karen Yendle. I have been married to my best friend, Simon, for almost 30 years and we have three daughters, Hayden (29), Meghan (26), and Lauren (23). We moved to Auburn in 2014 from Birmingham, Alabama after Simon accepted a position at Auburn University. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design through the School of Architecture at Auburn University in 1993. While staying home to help raise our family, God gave me a desire to teach children about the love of Christ. Soon afterwards, a door was opened for me to become the Elementary Children’s Director at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Homewood, Alabama. There, I was able to use my design background to create fun and engaging environments for children to learn and grow in their relationship with Christ. For fourteen years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach children and I am thrilled to be back at Holy Trinity for my twelfth year as a Pre-K teacher.

Lindsay Moore

Pre-K Teacher

I am excited to be teaching Pre-K for my third year at Holy Trinity! I loved subbing here for three years before being given the opportunity to now teach here and I feel so blessed. I have been married to my husband, Robert, for 26 years. We have three children, Lani (22), Ella (19), and Robert (16). We moved from Montgomery to Auburn 6 years ago and love being in this beautiful town!

I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelors degree in Marketing. I worked with my father and grandfather at MetLife for 10 years before staying home to raise our children. I have been involved in some capacity with children for over 16 years. I have helped coach Jr High and High School Basketball, subbed from Preschool to High School age children, volunteered in our Youth Group and currently volunteer at Our House here in Auburn with Kindergarten and 1st graders. I have a heart for children to learn and grow in their love for the Lord.
