Alumni Spotlight: Danielle Riber (Dorminey) & Sarah Randle (Richburg)
Trinity Christian Academy is proud to shine a spotlight on two outstanding alumnae, Danielle Riber (Dorminey) from the Class of 2005 and Sarah Randle (Richburg) from the Class of 2000. Both women have remained deeply connected to the TCA community, dedicating their time and efforts to making a lasting impact.
As the first President and Vice President of the TCA Parent Association, Danielle and Sarah have selflessly volunteered countless hours planning parent socials, organizing student activities, supporting teachers, assisting with fundraising efforts, and leading the charge in planning the school's 1st Annual Spring Gala and Auction. Through their leadership, Danielle and Sarah—alongside a dedicated group of parent volunteers—have enriched the TCA experience for students, parents, and teachers alike.
Danielle Riber (Dorminey), Class of 2005
After graduating from TCA, Danielle earned her Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies from Liberty University. She currently resides in Jacksonville, FL, with her husband, Blake Riber, and their four children Wade, Mary-Kate, Campbell and Chet — all of whom are enrolled at TCA in 5th grade, 3rd grade, and Kindergarten, respectively.
Danielle dedicated eight years to teaching at Trinity from 2008 to 2016, leaving a lasting impact on her students' lives. Now, she continues to serve the school by volunteering with the Parent Association, giving back to the community that played such an integral role in shaping her life.
Reflecting on her career, Danielle takes great pride in the influence she had on her students during her time as a teacher. Today, she finds fulfillment in continuing to support the school through volunteer work.
"The education I received at TCA prepared me for success in college and in life. My teachers truly cared about me and wanted to see me succeed,"
Danielle shared.
"That experience helped me as a teacher, showing me how I wanted to treat my students and help them thrive."
Among her fondest memories are the excitement of Homecoming, field days, and football season, where school spirit and community came alive. However, the impact of Trinity went far beyond academics and school events.
"My relationship with God was strengthened during my time at Trinity,"
Danielle recalls.
"Bible classes with Mrs. Robertson were a highlight of my day and played a big part in my spiritual growth."
Sarah Randle (Richburg), Class of 2000
Sarah graduated from TCA in 2000 and went on to earn both an Associate of Arts and an Associate of Science degree from FSCJ, later becoming a certified paralegal. She lives in Jacksonville, FL, with her husband, Dave Randle, her high school sweetheart, and their three children—Hayden (a junior at TCA), Luke (a freshman), and Sadie (a 5th grader).
After working as a paralegal, Sarah chose to become a stay-at-home mother when her first son was born. In addition to raising her family, she actively volunteers within the TCA community. She recently had the privilege of coaching a middle-school girls’ volleyball team and has worked closely with Danielle to launch the first-ever TCA Parent Association, a role she looks forward to continuing for years to come.
"My parents enrolled me at TCA when I was in third grade. Many of the friends I made that year remained my friends throughout the rest of my schooling and are still friends to this day,"
Sarah shared.
One of her greatest joys is traveling with her family. Years ago, they set a goal to visit all fifty states, and by next summer, they will have visited forty-nine.
Sarah is a firm believer in the value of a Trinity education.
"There are many benefits to an education at Trinity—a small school feel with the advantages of a big school. TCA offers a thriving sports program, opportunities in the fine arts, such as music, drama, and art, and all courses are taught with a Biblical worldview. Trinity still provides the same educational and extracurricular opportunities as I enjoyed."
Both Danielle and Sarah embody the heart of Trinity Christian Academy—faith, family, and a commitment to service. We are grateful for their contributions and are proud to have them as part of our TCA legacy!
