About Mr. Truax

All About Me

I taught French for 17 years before transitioning to gifted education and I love it! I do, at times, miss teaching French but I have a much closer hand in preparing my gifted students for college readiness and I have a more developed relationship with my colleagues and the school community. I am the proprietor of a small farm with donkeys, goats, chickens, turkeys, dogs, a cat and a duck. The daily upkeep of the farm keeps me busy and involved, and is a constant source of joy in my life. I participate in the local theater community and you are very likely to see me in any production of Shakespeare. I am a member of the Alliance Français, Rutherford County Arts Alliance, Oakland's Mansion, The Hermitage, Historic Rugby, and Murfreesboro Little Theater.

Something very surprising to those who don't know me is that I am an Abraham Lincoln presenter and a member of the Association of Lincoln Presenters. I have a one-man show called "An Evening with Abraham Lincoln."
