Charlie Trout

Social Studies, Teacher

We are honored to spotlight Mr. Charlie Trout. Throughout his career, Mr. Trout has made impacts on countless students both in the classroom and through coaching. At the end of this year, we will be saddened to say goodbye to Charlie, as he is retiring. However, his impacts as a teacher, coach, and union President have made lasting positive contributions to ACHS and to CHSD117. To best describe this impact, we received this note from a former student about Mr. Trout: I had Mr. Trout when I was there ('94) and his passion for teaching me all about history sparked an interest that I still have today and have passed along to my current ACHS student. I loved how he would give us every detail, taught us how diverse the world is, and made us understand the importance of historical events. I loved it! And last year, when my son was able to take his AP Euro class and he would come home and tell Mr. Trout stories, it was like I was reliving my high school days with Mr. Trout. And now, again he took his International Relations course, just to have him again as a teacher for his last year. Mr. Trout is an amazing example of what a teacher is and should be to their students. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Trout and his wonderful way of getting me hooked forever on history!
