Mrs. Trethewey joined Rosarian in July 2017 with 25 years of experience as a teacher and administrator in both elementary and middle school classrooms.

The Board, search committees, and Adrian Dominican Sisters General Council unanimously recommended and approved Mrs. Trethewey for the position. “We are fortunate and blessed to have Mrs. Trethewey continue the great work done over the last 93 years and to lead Rosarian Academy into the future,” Mr. Hanlon said.

Mrs. Trethewey and her husband, Scott, reside in Fort Lauderdale and have four children. Outside of school duties and managing her family, Mrs. Trethewey has served as a volunteer and committee member for Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies since 2014.
