Hello!  My name is Christen Langton and I am blessed to be the Principal of St. Joseph Parish School!   I began my teaching career in the junior high classrooms of St. Joe’s where I taught science and 7th grade homeroom for five years.  For the past 8 years I have served as the Principal of 3 different schools before coming back home to St. Joe’s to settle into position as Principal.  Thirteen years later, the field of education is still my passion and I am blessed to work in the school that began my career; I am home!  My husband, Chuck, and I got married at St. Joe’s in February 2017 and we welcomed our daughter, Margaret Joy (Maggie J) in March 2018.  In my spare time I enjoy travel, “pinteresting”, and spending lots of time with my family and our Silver Lab puppy, Luna.

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.

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.

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.
