Tricia Powell

B.S. Business Administration, Colson Fellow Graduate

Tricia Powell is passionate about helping students think clearly, engage ideas thoughtfully, and develop confidence in their beliefs as they prepare for adulthood. She believes education should do more than transfer information—it should train students to discern truth, reason well, and apply what they learn to real life.

She holds a degree in business and brings years of professional experience into the classroom. Her background in business and finance allows her to connect academic concepts to practical decision-making, helping students see how worldview, economics, and personal responsibility intersect in everyday life. Before teaching, she worked in the corporate world managing large-scale projects and collaborating with diverse teams—experiences that shaped her appreciation for clear thinking, accountability, and effective communication.

Her passion for teaching was further shaped through her family’s experience hosting international exchange students, which deepened her interest in culture, worldview, and how beliefs shape behavior. As a homeschooling parent, she understands the goals and concerns of families who want their students challenged academically while also being encouraged to think deeply and grow in wisdom.

In her classes, students are encouraged to ask good questions, engage respectfully with ideas, and develop confidence in their ability to analyze the world around them through a biblical lens. She strives to create an environment that is structured, engaging, and supportive—one where students are equipped not just for academic success, but for thoughtful, purposeful living.

She looks forward to partnering with families to help students grow in clarity, confidence, and conviction as they prepare for the responsibilities and opportunities ahead.
