Mr. Trotter

My name is Charles Trotter and this is my ninth year at KEYS High School. I am department chair for the Mathematics department and teach Algebra 1 and Math Models.

This is my seventeenth year as a high school teacher. Prior to coming to HEB, I taught at a private school for students with learning differences. My time there taught me the value of recognizing each student's unique gifts and capacity to learn. I know each child can succeed and I hope to bring out the very best in all my students.

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas Wesleyan University and a Master of Education degree in Mathematics Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Texas at Arlington.

My Mission Statement

My mission is to provide students with a safe and engaging learning environment in which students can explore mathematical concepts relevant to their world.
