This school year, Mr. Nicholas Gunn joins the Pueblo faculty family as a new government and history teacher.
This is Gunn’s first year of teaching, and he definitely has his hands full teaching both juniors and seniors.
“There is a distinct school culture that creates a real sense of community,” Gunn said. “The students, teachers, and administration alike share a connection with Pueblo on a common goal which benefits all aspects of this school’s productivity.”
Gunn graduated from the University of Arizona in 2016, majoring in history, but he said that he also studied anthropology along with some educational work.
Although it’s still very early in his new career, Gunn said that he enjoys teaching very much, although he admitted that his job could occasionally be “demanding when it comes to preparing and tailoring assignments in a way that resonates with students.”
Gunn thinks that the teachers, faculty and students are all great but only wishes that we would be able to obtain more resources that the students and our faculty deserve.
“Virtually all schools in Tucson could really utilize extra funding and resources,” Gunn said.
Gunn further added that students should be aware of how real forms or movements of change have stemmed from the efforts of small groups of people.
“My main focus has always been on student activism,” Gunn said, “as well as the facilitation of building individual identity within government and building a personal connection with politics.”
