Mr. Nicolas Pitts is one of the many new staff hired here at Pueblo High School this year, and he said that he is definitely ready to teach!
As a new biology teacher, Pitts feels as if he can make a huge impact on the Pueblo freshmen in his classroom.
“I think biology is the foundation of biotech, which is the future of technology,” he said. “I really want them to make that connection.”
After graduating from Tucson High Magnet School in 2009 and then from the University of Arizona, Pitt traveled to Columbia (South America); he lived there from the ages of 23 through 25.
Pitts said he applied for teaching position at Pueblo because “it’s close to home and his culture” and because he wanted to help build Pueblo’s rich community.
“I feel good very comfortable at Pueblo so far,” Pitts said.
Besides his love of many sports (including riding his bike), Pitts said that he loves to practice speaking Spanish. Pitts said that he also likes “reggaeton” music and claims that Farruko is his favorite artist in this music genre.
At 26 years old, Pitts said that he has a lot planned for his first year at Pueblo, despite not knowing for sure how much longer he wants to remain in Tucson.
“If I stay in Tucson, Pueblo is the place where I want to be,” he said.
