Catrina Kagerbauer

Beyond her professional responsibilities, Catrina finds joy in spending quality time with her family, including her husband Aaron and children Xavier and Zoe.

Outside of work and family life, Catrina enjoys a variety of activities, from outdoor adventures to indulging in her interests in cooking, reality TV, and Christian concerts. She also finds inspiration and growth through studying and applying the teachings of the Bible in her daily life.

Staff
Greg Black
Greg Black has served as school librarian since 2016.** Mr. Black had spent the last 20 years of his W-2 life in Information Systems at Funjet Vacations managing links with such trading partners as Disney and Southwest Airlines. So, it was an easy transition in his retirement to manage the computerized book/patron tracking system at the school and to perform the ancillary tasks associated with library upkeep such as coding book purchases and acquisitions – to say nothing of sorting and reshelving those countless returned books! Mr. Black has an MBA, but administers the library as a part-time volunteer. He is grateful for the considerable assistance in moving the library to its current location below the church sanctuary, as well as in making it the welcoming space it has become. Both of Mr. Black’s adult sons were confirmed at Trinity Freistadt and still reside in the Milwaukee area with their families. Mr. Black feels he has been abundantly blessed by the Lord.
