Three Paulding County High Schools Release Trout

On Saturday, December 16th, NPHS, EPHS, and PCHS released trout fingerlings they had raised from eggs. It was the culminating activity to a program called "Trout In the Classroom" (TIC) which is sponsored by the Cohutta Chapter of Trout Unlimited. Teachers and students were assisted by volunteers from the Department of Natural Resources and the Cohutta Chapter of Trout Unlimited. This unique program gives real-world experience and lessons about cold water fisheries and the need for clean water!
