Biography
Originally from the East Coast, Mrs. Quatrini was born in Brooklyn, NY, then went across the river to New Jersey for a few years before moving to Houston with her family where she went to high school. After graduating college from Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches, TX, she worked in the travel industry and then worked for Harris County which is when she decided to pursue a career in education, completing her Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Houston. A life-long learner, Mrs. Q. recently went back to school and completed the Principal Certification Program through Lamar University.
Married to her wonderful husband, Fred Trackwell, she has two amazing children: Stephen, a music education major at the University of North Texas and Claire who just graduated from high school in May. Mrs. Quatrini loves to read, craft, and travel. She also likes to play and go on walks with her dogs Daisy and Ella.
Mrs. Q. has a passion for education and particularly Catholic education. What other school allows you to pray openly, as a class, about an upcoming test, pray for a sick friend or family member, or pray for our ailing planet? Catholic school is the perfect opportunity to combine faith-life with academics and to develop servant leaders among our children. St. Francis de Sales faculty and staff are preparing children for heaven, college and their future careers.
