Holy Trinity Classical Christian School has appointed Elinor Borgert, Ph.D as a temporary high school science teacher for the fall semester.  

According to Holy Trinity headmaster Rev. Chad E. Lawrence, "Holy Trinity is blessed to have a faculty member of this caliber. Although her appointment is temporary, Dr. Borgert's contributions have already been significant."

Borgert earned a B.A. in Economics with a minor in Medical Humanities at Davidson College in North Carolina and an M.Sc. in Health Economics at the University of York in England. In 2002, she earned a Ph.D. from the Department of Health Policy and Administration at the University of North Carolina School of Public Health at Chapel Hill with a concentration in epidemiology.

Prior to accepting her teaching assignment at Holy Trinity, Borgert worked with the World Health Organization in Switzerland; the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of Sciences, in Washington, D.C.; and the Belmont University College of Pharmacy in Nashville, Tenn. She has also spent nearly 12 years teaching at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

She is a lifelong member of St. Helena’s Church and a Master Naturalist, having been certified in 2014. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, running, cooking and helping her children with their Holy Trinity homework.
