8th Graders Taking Math At Pueblo High School 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the second consecutive year, Pueblo Magnet High School has offered a program to teach Honors Algebra to over a dozen eighth graders from Hollinger K-8 and McCorkle Middle School.<\/p>\n

These students attend this class four days each week and are taught by Pueblo math teacher Mr. Billy Campbell during first period.<\/p>\n

Campbell said, \u201cThis class [algebra] will help these middle school students get a head start, so when they come back to Pueblo as freshmen, they will be one step ahead and will be able to take geometry a year earlier than most students.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to get to Pueblo, these students walk, take the bus or get dropped off by family members. When class is over, Mrs. Laura Gallego (Pueblo’s Magnet Recuiter), Mr. Adalberto Rodriguez (Pueblo\u2019s Media Specialist), Albert Ochoa (Pueblo’s Custodian) & others escort them back to school in time for their next class.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Campbell is a very creative teacher,\u201d said Joseph Vega, an eighth grade McCorkle student. \u201cHe\u2019s full of energy and enthusiasm, and he uses many methods to teach us. His class is really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diana Quiroz, a student from Hollinger, said, \u201cMr. Campbell keeps us motivated to want to learn, he tells us stories to keep us interested!\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea of this program was a joint effort between Pueblo and Hollinger. In the future, Pueblo hopes to expand this program to include other middle schools.<\/p>\n

Pueblo\u2019s principal Dr. Augustine Romero said, \u201cI wholeheartedly support the idea that Pueblo should have more collaboration with middle schools across the city\u2014and perhaps expand to other subjects other than math.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
