On Thursday, May 22, 2025, the Trinity-Pawling community gathered in Gardiner Theater for the annual yearbook dedication ceremony and presentation of other academic awards.
The 2025 Trinitannus was dedicated to Amy and Brian Foster ’79. For 70 combined years, Brian and Amy Foster have been dedicated to Trinity-Pawling — welcoming, supportive, and deeply committed to the community. As they both retire, the Class of 2025 shared a few reflections on the impact they’ve had:
“The Fosters have made a great impact on my T-P experience. I would like to thank Mr. Foster for running our athletic programs, and Mrs. Foster for her unwavering efforts in encouraging students to read more.”
“They do incredible work for the community. Both deserve to be recognized for all their hard work and dedication to us.”
“They do everything and always put the community first.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Foster have been the backbone of the Trinity-Pawling community throughout my five years and long before that. The Fosters make everyone around them better, uplifting their fellow faculty whom they consider their family, and they hold each and every Trinity-Pawling student to a high standard, constantly believing in the mission statement of “providing a transformational educational experience that helps students discover and pursue their talents.” Whether it’s in the classroom or athletic fields, they are always pushing us to be better. This is why the 2025 Trinitannus should be dedicated to them. They have made T-P home for many of us and shared and welcomed many in their community that we hold dear.”
Congratulations, Amy and Brian!
