Pueblo In The Local Media!
Former Pueblo student, Sergio Antonio Iñiguez, is doing very well in the show that airs on Univision called Viva El Sueño (Live Your Dream).
Sergio Antonio graduated as a Warrior in 2004 and we all remember him for his charm. You can listen to his music on his MySpace Music site. Watch the show on Sundays on the Spanish channel Univision.
We wish him the best!
Mya Hoeflinger, a P.E. teacher here at Pueblo, was featured in a recent article in Tucson Weekly. She is a member of the Tucson Lightning Womens Rugby Club and this is what she had to say about rugby:
“The objective of rugby is to advance the ball down the field by running forward or passing backward to cross over the try line to score,” explains Mya Hoeflinger, president of Tucson Lightning. “Fifteen play at one time. … Players play offense and defense. There are two 40-minute halves.
“When someone asks, ‘What is rugby?’ we describe it as a combination of football and soccer. In football, you tackle and run with the ball. With soccer, it’s continuous (like rugby), so it’s kind of a combination of the two sports.”
Our very own Jennie Elrod, math teacher at Pueblo, was featured on a CNN story. Here it is in case you missed it:
Jennie explains what it was all about:
My internship was with the integration team for the Standard Missile 6 development program at Raytheon. We did the final testing phases to collect data and evidence that the SM6 is ready for the “production phase” which means it can be put into mass production and sold to Raytheon customers. The SM6 is a defense missile that has some very innovative capabilities unlike any missile in production today! My role was to collect telemetry data from missile tests, assist in taking the data back to Tucson, and also analyze the data in Tucson labs. We looked to see what information the missile received versus what information was sent to the missile, and use that to understand how the missile behaved… etc. So, we looked at a lot of graphs and codes.
The important part of this internship program was to allow me time and experience to witness the types of skills used in the workforce. In other words, what should I be teaching in my classroom that will prepare my students for a career in math or science?
That pretty much sums it up, it was a great experience and I look forward to working at Raytheon again next summer!
Here’s a clip of some behind the scenes footage of the interview process:
Thank you for sharing this experience with us Jennie.
Two of our Exceptional Education teachers were featured on the Arizona Daily Star over the weekend. Ernesto Portillo wrote an excellent piece you can read here:

Thank you for recognizing these two integral parts of our school.
