2026 TFF Sponsored Trout-in-the-Classroom Project

This year’s TFF sponsored TITC project started at the end of January, with several thousand rainbow trout eggs making their way into schools all across Houston. This year we have tanks running at the following schools:

  • Katy HS (3 tanks) Katy has been running the program since we started in 2012
  • Seven Lakes HS
  • Jordan HS (new this year)
  • Tomas HS (new this year)
  • B. F. Terry HS
  • Fulshear HS
  • Foster HS
  • George Ranch HS
  • Randle HS
  • Lamar Consolidated HS
  • Lamar Special Sites (Lamar ISD has committed to running the program in all their high schools)
  • Westbury HS
  • Pasadena Memorial HS (two tanks)
  • Barbers Hill Middle
  • Lake Creek Academy (new this year)
  • Deer Park HS (new this year)
  • New Caney HS (new this year)

The eggs have already started hatching and so far all the tanks are doing well. I will keep posting updates as the fish grow. The plan is to release the young fish into the TU managed section of the Guad in early May.

TFF 2024 Trout in the Classroom Kickoff

This year’s TFF sponsored Trout in the Classroom project kicked off last month, with the arrival of eggs for the Houston schools. This year we have tanks running in classrooms in Katy HS, Seven Lakes HS, Pasadena Memorial HS, Fulshear HS, Lamar Consolidated HS, George Ranch HS, B F Terry HS, Randle HS and Foster HS! Eggs are already starting to hatch and we will be raising the trout up to the fry stage, before releasing them into the TU managed section of the Guadalupe river in late April, early May. I will post photo’s and videos as things progress! If anyone has any questions about the program, or knows of schools that would like to be involved next year, feel free to reach out – Matt Blyth, 8324444206

Help Needed: Trout in the Classroom Egg Pickup!

Folks! Our 2023 Trout in the Classroom project will kick off on February 2nd when we are able to pick up our eggs from GRTU. Unfortunately this year I am unavailable on the pick up date and so I am looking for a few TFF volunteers who can help with getting the eggs from Sattler, TX to the schools here in Houston. I need people who can help with the following:

  • Someone who can drive from Houston to Sattler, TX on the morning of Feb 2nd, meet the GRTU representative to pick up our eggs and then drive back to Katy HS in the early afternoon.
  • Then we need the following runners who can all meet at Katy HS when the eggs arrive and transport them to the following schools:
  • a) Egg transport from Katy HS to Pasadena HS on the afternoon of the 2nd
  • b) Egg transport from Katy HS to Westbury HS on the afternoon of the 2nd
  • c) Egg transport from Katy HS to Memorial Private School (Dairy Ashford and Memorial area) on the afternoon of the 2nd
  • d) Potentially someone to go from Katy HS to Rosenberg also – TBC

Please contact me at 832 444 4206 if you are able to help! Thanks! Matt Blyth
