Newly hired teacher, Dr. Rosario Hutchings, comes to Pueblo this school year as a curriculum service provider/teacher supporter. She will help teachers having challenges with their teaching methods and learning objectives.
Hutchings, who comes from East Los Angeles, said that she had early ambitions of becoming an electrical engineer, but her plans changed when she became an assistant teacher.
“My identity early on was to be a teacher, and I still believe that being part of education is my true calling in life,” said Hutchings.
Hutchings said that she gladly accepted this position at Pueblo because she wanted an opportunity to help teachers and to show how much she cares about the PHS community.
“I want to ensure that teachers are doing the right things regarding their curriculum and to let them know that I truly care about their roles in the classroom,” she said.
Hutchings added, “I like that Pueblo High School is in ‘the hood’,” she said, “and I say ‘hood’ with great affection. People say ‘ghetto’ and ‘hood’ like they’re a bad thing—and that couldn’t be farther from the truth.”
