St. Pius X Catholic High School Trout Release

Forty students from St. Pius X Catholic High School recently released trout into the Chattahoochee River as part of the Trout in the Classroom project, sponsored nationally by Trout Unlimited and supported locally by the Upper Chattahoochee Chapter of Trout Unlimited.

This environmental education program involves students in raising trout from eggs to fingerling-size fish, monitoring tank water

quality, engaging in stream habitat study, learning to appreciate water resources, beginning to foster a conservation ethic, and growing to understand ecosystems. The trout released by the St. Pius X students were the largest in the chapter’s history with the Trout in the Classroom program.
