Hello Everyone!

My name is Trevor Howard. I will be teaching 6th grade Social Studies on Team Catalyst this year. This is my fifth year of teaching in a public school. I graduated from the University of Kansas in December 2019 with my Bachelor's degree in History. I taught 7th grade social studies during the 2020 spring semester at Lighthouse Preparatory Academy here in Jefferson City. Currently, I obtained my Master's Degree in US and World History through Missouri State University in the summer of 2024. I am so excited about starting my fifth year off at Thomas Jefferson Middle School.

A little bit about me:

I was born in Kansas, but I grew up in Idaho! I lived in a very small town (my elementary school was a true one-room school-house). I moved back to Kansas for college after I received a great scholarship opportunity.  In college, I studied History, as well as receiving a minor in Business. I met my wife there while she was in Pharmacy school. She is from Jefferson City, and bringing me back to visit often helped me fall in love with this community! We recently got married in her parents' living room as a result of Covid-19, and are excited to be starting our new careers as a teacher and a Pharmacist! 

I love being outside! I grew up hunting, fishing, hiking and camping and still love those activities. I also love watching and participating in sports, primarily baseball and basketball. I love KU sports, and I am a KC Royals fan. My family lives in the Pacific Northwest, so I love to visit and explore the mountains. History is a strong passion of mine, and I am extremely excited to share that with students and hope to help them develop a love for it as well!

I hope to make this year incredible for everyone!

Mr. Trevor Howard
