Charles Polk

My Uncle Charles Polk was a Great Man! that cared about Family and People. I Think about my Uncle all the Time with the memories we shared together.

I was fortunate to have Mr Polk as the Principal at Angleton High School. He was a great principal fair and kind hearted. I remember as African American how proud I was when I would see him a African American man in such a looked up to role stroll around the hallways at school. He cared about the students. My mom and I were just talking about him about 2 weeks ago not knowing he had passed away.

I remember Charles Polk as Coach Polk. He was my 8th grade Science Teacher. He was the best teacher I've ever had. In 1978 (if my memory serves me correctly), I made Student of the Year in his Science class. I'm certain it was because of his teaching skills. I've considered contacting him on several occasions, but regret that I waited too long to thank him personally. Thank you, Coach Polk! You have made such a difference in the lives of so many. See you soon!

I wasn’t able to see Charles Ray in person unless I was a child he was my mother’s Cousin but I did get a chance to talk to him several times before he passed away..

Mr. Polk was one of my favorite Principals. He was fair, just and a blessing to be around during our awkward junior high years. I was just thinking about some of the people in my life who really made an impact on me. Mr. Polk was one of those people. He was a great human and and someone I looked up to. Rest in peace Mr. Polk.

I was so sorry to just learn of Coach Polk’s passing. He was my 7th grade science teacher at Clute Intermediate School in the early 1970’s. He truly was one of my most favorite teachers. I received two merit awards the year that I was in Coach Polk’s science class. And he honored me with one of those merit awards in science. Then a few years later, when I was in 11th grade in 1977, I transferred to Angleton High School. To my delight, I found a friendly face in this new, unexplored territory...

Coach Polk was my science teacher at Clute Intermediate back in the early 70's. He always called me Penny instead of Terrie. He said I reminded him of a bright shiny penny with my smile. His teaching made me love science. He also gave me my first merit award for science. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and ask God to wrap his arms of comfort and peace around his family and friends.

Wonderful counselor for our class at Angleton High School 1978. Rest In Peace Mr. Polk.
