Mrs. Trisilla

6th Grade Teacherjtrisillamystjohns.orgMy name is Jo Trisilla and I have been fortunate to teach for 29 years at St. Laurence Catholic School in Elgin. At St. Laurence I taught 4th through 8th grade science and I have been the homeroom teacher for 6th grade and 7th grade-- teaching reading and religion. I am a graduate of Northern Illinois University and have lived in the area for many years. My husband and I have one son who attended St. Laurence and continued on to graduate from St. Edward High School. My son also played football all the way through college and I have to say the greatest memories came from watching him play—so yes of course I am Chicago Bears Fan, actually I’m just a football fan and I have two pups that are appropriately named Blitz and Rookie.
I believe Catholic Schools provide a foundation for our children academically, socially, and spiritually. It allows a partnership between teacher and parent to give the students the tools they need to be successful, not only in higher levels of academics but in life. I am extremely excited to become a part of the St. John the Evangelist family and I look forward to teaching your children and meeting the families that make up such an incredible school. Go Tigers!
