Even with the rocky start of the 2020-2021 school year, Pueblo High School\u2019s teachers remain faithful and committed to teaching our Warriors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those loyal teachers is Ms. Teresa McCormack, who has called Pueblo \u201chome\u201d since the fall of 2018, when she was simultaneously completing a one-year master’s teaching program at the University of Arizona while student-teaching Spanish I and II at PHS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCormack currently teaches ELD I (English) to freshmen and sophomores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI miss my kids!\u201d McCormack said. \u201cI miss the whole interaction with them. I want to come back. I\u2019m not planning to retire nor resign like some teachers did or are. The students at Pueblo are awesome, fun, respectful, and they create an atmosphere not seen or felt in other high schools. The staff and administration at Pueblo played a huge factor in me being at Pueblo.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCormack earned her bachelor\u2019s in education in 2017, with honors, and she taught in Germany a year before coming to Pueblo High School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy husband served in the Air Force for 24 years, and several times we were stationed overseas, including Germany,\u201d she said. \u201cLiving there was a once in a lifetime experience.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While living abroad on a military installation, McCormack accepted a job as a para-professional working with general and special education high schoolers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was the best time ever!\u201d McCormack said. \u201cI met students from all over the 50 states, and I still keep in touch with some of them through social media.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that she chose her teaching field because she wanted to have a positive and influential impact on the next generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a teacher’s aide for more than 10 years, I saw a connection that I had with teenagers,\u201d McCormack said. \u201cI did not want to lose that impact on future students who I had not met yet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When students and teachers are allowed to return to campus, McCormack said that she will do everything possible to make her classroom a safe environment. McCormack hopes to be able to help her students in person and to continue giving them positive advice. She added that she wants to continue to encourage her students to follow their dreams in life without obstacles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to come back to the classroom,\u201d McCormack said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
