First Grade
Mrs. Krystal Mullins
grade1@stjosephschooltrenton.com
Hello!  My name is Krystal Mullins and I am the first grade teacher at St. Joseph’s Catholic School. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2010 with a Bachelor's degree.  After graduating from Eastern, I worked for Northville Public Schools in the Early Childhood Department.  I was blessed with the opportunity to join the St. Joe’s family in 2016.  This is my 2nd year teaching first grade at St. Joseph's. I married my husband Kevin in 2012 and in 2016 we welcomed our son Dominic into our family. I also have two dogs named Teddy and Paco. Outside of teaching I enjoy camping, spending time with my friends and family and traveling.  I am an avid Detroit Lions fan and enjoy watching sports.
Second Grade
Mrs. Denise Lokuta
grade2@stjosephschooltrenton.com
I have been teaching for 35 years, with the last 16 years here at St. Joe’s teaching second grade.  I previously taught at St. Mary Magdalen in Melvindale and was the principal there for 3 years.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Elementary Education and a Master’s degree in School Leadership.
Over the years I have taught Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade and Fourth Grade.  Second Grade is my favorite because I teach two sacraments and get to celebrate both with my students. 
I grew up in Trenton, came from a large family of 9 children and attended St. Joe’s when I was a child.  I have been married for 33 years and in my spare time I love to make quilts.

Fourth Grade
Mrs. Jacqueline Czarnecki
grade4@stjosephschooltrenton.com
Hello! My name is Mrs. Czarnecki. I teach 4th grade at St. Joseph
School.  I earned my teaching degree at Central Michigan University
and began my career in the public school system.  After teaching 8 years,
I stayed home to raise my six children. Ten years later, I was eager to
return to teaching and found my passion in the Catholic schools.  It is
very rewarding to be able to share my faith with my students and learn
more about my faith through them.  I love to cook, spend time outdoors
walking or biking, and most of all, I love to spend time with my family.

Mrs. Rhonda Singh

Teaching is my passion, and I now have a new greater passion – teaching at St. Joseph Catholic School!  I have been a teacher for eight years and have enjoyed every single minute of it!  I earned my Bachelor’s of Science degree in education from Eastern Michigan University after having taught Catechism at Our Lady of the Holy Scapular for 5th and 6th grades.  My hobbies include making menus and cooking for our large extended family and enjoying my four beautiful grandchildren.  Connecting our faith to all our understandings and sharing my love of learning are my life goals.  The St. Joseph Community is wonderful place to be and I’m blessed to be part of it!
Seventh Grade
Mrs. Katie Darin
grade7@stjosephschooltrenton.com
My name is Mrs. Darin, and I am the 7th grade homeroom teacher; I also teach English to the 6th grade and the 8th grade.  I have been teaching for 8 years, and 7 of those years have been here at St. Joe’s.  As a student myself, I went to Catholic school from 1st grade all the way through 12th grade, and now I am back teaching in a Catholic school.  So, you can say, I am definitely a Catholic school kid through and through.  I am married to husband Nick, and we have a son named Enzo who is 2.5 years old; we are also expecting another baby in March.  In my spare time, I love going to flea markets, crafting, taking pictures, and tackling various home improvement projects. 
Eighth Grade
Mrs. Colleen Crotty

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Evan, since 2009 and we have a little dog at home, Buddy.  I am the proud aunt of 4 nephews and 1 niece, and the Godmother of 3 awesome and talented kids.  When I’m not at school, I love reading, spending time with family and friends, and keeping up with my favorite television shows.
