Erin Petrak
Erin Petrak
K4 Teacher
Erin and her husband, David, moved to Florida in 1995 so he could attend Reformed Theological Seminary. After finding St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, they soon made Orlando home. Erin received her BA in history at the University of Central Florida and then worked at the Maitland Historical Society and Museums as the volunteer coordinator and director of educational programming before Erin and David had children.
In 2010, Erin joined the TGS early childhood team as a teachers aide when her youngest entered the K4 program. During her time at Geneva, she has cultivated a deep understanding of the classroom environment and the beauty and benefits that come with a classical education. In 2024, when Geneva opened a third K4 class, Erin made the transition from aide to teacher.
Erin is passionate about creating a safe classroom environment where mistakes are a part of learning and students are encouraged to revel in wonder as they learn about our God and the world he created. She considers the opportunity to get to know the students and their families a great privilege and loves to see former students in the halls.
In her spare time, Erin enjoys reading, cooking, hiking, and spending time with her girls—Tabitha (class of ’21) and Samantha (class of ’25).
