Ms. Trisha Ehrhardt
My name is Trisha Ehrhardt and I am very excited to be returning to Columbia Elementary. I graduated from University of Alabama in Huntsville where I dual majored in special and general education. I am currenty teaching the K-1 Transitional Special Education unit. This will be my third year working in this grade level and my fifth year working in special education in Madison City Schools. I look forward to working with each and every student and watching their success and growth.
I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois in a family of 7 as an avid Chocago Sports fan. My favorite past times are watching sports and working out. Growing up, I played several sports. In high school I decided to go the path of playing soccer and running cross country. While looking at colleges, I accepted a soccer scholarship to play at UAH.
My husband and I have a son, Maverick Cruz.
