Trimble Tech’s Earnest Colvin Recognized for Nearly Four Decades with FWISD
For nearly four decades, Ernest Colvin, band director at Trimble Tech High School, has instructed students on the power of music and its ability to break down barriers.
Throughout his tenure he’s instilled in hundreds of students that personal and professional growth can be achieved through music. Mr. Colvin said that music often “reaches” students who are struggling with other academic studies. He credits student-teacher trust with his successes.
After 38 years with the District, Mr. Colvin will retire at the end of the school year. On Tuesday, May 22, his work was recognized at the FWISD Board of Education meeting.
Mr. Colvin joined the District in 1980, teaching at William James Middle School. Throughout his career with FWISD, he’s taught at North Side High School and spent the last 17 years developing an exemplary band program at Trimble Tech High School.
Mr. Colvin, along with his wife, Alfreida, principal at Harlean Beal Elementary, are among the nearly 250 employees retiring from the school District this school year.
