  Will Faudree '01

  Will Faudree was born in 1981 to Kerry and Matt Faudree. His older sister, the late Kristen Faudree, and his younger brother Keagan also attended Trinity School along with many of his cousins. Will grew up on a cattle ranch in Midland, Texas where he learned to ride horses at a very young age. He is a Trinity Lifer, and he became interested in eventing at the age of 12 and started competing. Will trained and competed horses throughout his time at Trinity, and he credits the support he received from the School for enabling him to have the career he has today in his sport (Eventing). In-fact, in Middle School, Mrs. Laura Brown challenged him to do a research paper about his career aspirations: Will said he wanted to be a horseback rider. Will was a leader among his peers; involved in theater productions; a great student; and he was awarded the David Freeman Memorial- awarded to the graduating senior who exhibits extraordinary ability in creative expression through writing.

  Joe de Compiegne '75

  Joe was born in Midland to Henri and Mary de Compiegne in 1960. He attended Trinity School from kindergarten through 9th grade. He participated in football and basketball. After Trinity he attended boarding school at St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire. Both of his sisters, Annie and Elise, also attended Trinity. Both Henri and Mary were active supporters of the School and served on many committees and on the Board at Trinity, his father as President. He attended The University of Texas in Austin and afterward worked in real estate in Austin. In 1985, when real estate was beginning to crash, his father offered him a job to work with him in the oil and gas business back in Midland. He figured he would try this for a few years thinking that he did not want to stay long term in Midland. He thought he would then move to Colorado or back to Austin. 36 years later, Joe is still in Midland. It was the best decision he ever made. He got the chance to work with and learn from his father for 20 years until his passing in 2006.
