Tom Trott graduated from Summerville High School (SHS) in 1998 with a 4.25 GPA, four years of priceless memories and a firm foundation for life ahead.\u00a0 To this day, he still feels privileged to have attended a high school that took such pride in its academics, athletics and well-being of its students.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tom encountered some of his all-time favorite teachers (elementary school and college included) at SHS.\u00a0 These teachers, taking a personal interest in Tom\u2019s future, helped him discover and grow in his talent for physics, math and chemistry.\u00a0 Their encouragement and support guided him to pursue an education and career in civil engineering.<\/p>\n

\"\"A love of sports, teamwork and competition led Tom to play football, basketball and baseball all four years at SHS.\u00a0 His timing could not have been better for great sports – the Class of 1998\u2019s athleticism shines brightly in SHS sports history.\u00a0 Bear football went 10-0 during Tom\u2019s junior year and 9-1 during his senior year.\u00a0 Bear basketball went 27-3 during his junior year and scored an astonishing 100+ points in nine games.\u00a0 The thrill of competing on those teams are still some of Tom\u2019s fondest memories and the experience taught him the importance of hard work, discipline and close camaraderie.<\/p>\n

Although some may have labeled Tom a \u201cjock\u201d during his time at SHS, he prided himself in befriending all groups of students.\u00a0 His SHS experience was filled with close friendships and community, leaving him with a deep-rooted value for community.\u00a0 Although he did not realize it at the time, this value would shape his life path moving forward.<\/p>\n

After graduating from SHS, Tom moved to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly, where he ultimately obtained his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (cum laude).\u00a0 Deep friendships and the beauty of the central coast caused Tom to remain in San Luis Obispo for 15 years, where he began his career, became a licensed civil engineer and (most importantly) started his family.\u00a0 Tom\u2019s heart for community continued to grow during this time.\u00a0 His career began with computer-aided design, but quickly shifted to management as he discovered that he loved working with others.\u00a0 As a result, he became more and more fully engaged in leadership both at work and at his church.<\/p>\n

Although\"\" the beauty of the central coast is a dream for some, the Sierra Nevada mountains were always calling Tom and his wife, Anne, to return.\u00a0 In 2013, they excitedly moved to Twain Harte where Tom now has his dream job \u2013 General Manager of Twain Harte Community Services District.\u00a0 Tom, Anne and their two children love living in such a tight-knit community and enjoy adventuring together into the beautiful mountain wilderness.\u00a0 Tom is grateful and honored to now take the foundations and values he developed at SHS and use them to serve the community he grew up in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
