Interview with Trent Thomas of 5F Prep

I recently sat down with Union County Teacher and 5F Prep Founder, Trent Thomas, as part of an interview. He has worked with CHS students in the past and will be working with some of our seniors this year. He also talked with our Freshmen at Orientation this year about how to be successful in high school. I have been impressed with his work and would commend him to you. I am not a paid spokesperson, nor on the payroll of 5F Prep, but do like to share great resources when I come across them.

The interview was filmed and is available below as a series of links.
