History Home

A nice photo of Mr. T with Mr. Lincoln at the national park battlefield in Gettysburg, PA. Somehow, Mr. T convinced Mrs. T that Gettysburg would be the perfect location for our 15th wedding anniversary!

Mr. Thomas M. Trovato

This is the school home page for Mr. Thomas M. Trovato, social studies teacher at Louisa County High School in Mineral, VA.

The 2021-2022 school year will be Mr. T's 21st year in education and 13th year at LCHS. Mr. T is a National Board Certified Teacher (originally received in 2009, renewed 2019), with a Master's Degree in History from Fordham University (2000) and a Bachelor's Degree in History and French from the College of William & Mary (1999).

Over his 20 years as an educator, Mr. T has taught almost every course available to teach at the high school level in the state of Virginia, including: World History I, World History II, Virginia and U.S. History, Economics, AP European History, AP U.S. History, AP U.S. Government and Politics, and Dual Enrollment U.S. History. If anyone has any questions about the history curriculum at Louisa County High School or in the state of Virginia, Mr. T will be happy to help!

No matter what, Mr. T is committed to providing the highest quality education for all students, and attempts to model and instill his basic philosophy of education in his own life and in the lives of his students: "There are no shortcuts."

2021-2022 School Year

While the 2020-2021 school year is probably not what we envisioned for ourselves as teachers, parents, students, and school communities around the country, Mr. T and the rest of the staff at Louisa County Public Schools provided the highest quality education for all students. Mr. T worked diligently every day to fulfill the vision and mission statements of TeamLCPS -- to be a world-class, forward-thinking educator, challenging every student to learn and demonstrate the 5 C's -- collaboration, critical thinking, communication, creativity, and citizenship -- in every lesson and activity. For the 2021-2022 school year, we are hoping that the lessons learned during the challenges of the previous year will lead us into the future with 5 days a week of in-class instruction! We are #TeamLCPS!

In addition, Mr. T and the everyone at TeamLCPS encourages and engages students every day to live their lives with #Kindness. If there is anything that the 2020-2021 school year should have taught all of us -- we must work together to overcome the obstacles others would place in our path, in our efforts to live out Mr. T's classroom expectations of Respect, Listen, Empathy and Excellence. With those concepts in mind, the 2021-2022 school year is sure to be a success for everyone!
