Great day to you Trip Family! I am Mikki Asberry and appreciate the continued love and professional support of our great leaders and educational colleagues represented here in Rams Country! I am Atlanta born and Decatur raised. Elementary education and Atlanta cultural history have been pillars of my motivation to receive both my Bachelor of Arts degree in Leadership Studies with a minor in Religious Studies and also obtaining my Masters of Education degree in Elementary Education. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”-Nelson Mandela

When I am not teaching, I find myself anchored and encouraged by the consistent love and support from my husband and our two college-age sons. I enjoy giving and receiving constant support from my tribe of lifelong friends, anything that's the color purple, cheering Atlanta Falcons football, journal blogging, listening to good music and reading actual hard/paperback books.

This year is going to be GREAT! Teaching and learning are my favorite activities and I consider myself a lifelong student. Our faculty and staff here at Trip Elementary are outstanding, and I cannot wait to journey along with your child for all of the learning adventures we will take together this year.

Hi! My name is Caroline Coffey and I am very excited to be a part of the Trip family this year! I graduated from Georgia Southern University in 2019 with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I have a five year old son, Zayne, who is super great.

Hello to my Trip Elementary family! My name is Leah Kechriotis. My last name is crazy because it’s Greek! I’m very excited to continue teaching second grade here at Trip Elementary. Fifth grade is the BEST grade! I have attended school in Gwinnett County from Kindergarten all the way through college. I graduated from Georgia Gwinnett College with a degree in Early Childhood Education and an ESOL endorsement. I am also Gifted certified and have my Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education. I’m looking forward to an amazing school year at Trip, where my students not only learn second grade content, but they also learn life skills that help them as they grow to be well-rounded members of society.

Hello!  Welcome to 5th grade!  I'm Mrs. McKenna! I hope you love school as much as I do. I started teaching in 2002, and it gets better and better every year! I grew up in New Jersey and Missouri, and have lived in Georgia for 13 years! I'm a charter member of Trip Elementary and love being a Ram! You can often find me doing silly commercials on the morning announcements.  In my spare time I enjoy going to the movies (the previews are my favorite part), cooking, and visiting new restaurants.  My husband and I love our two spoiled cats, Mr. Jinx and Mac! 

I hope to see you around Trip this year!
