Alvarez comes to Pueblo equipped not only with years of high school counseling experience but experience as a clinician and American Southwest archeologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI felt welcomed immediately,\u201d Alvarez said. \u201cPueblo is different and unique, and I recognized immediately that this school has its own special culture and personality\u2014not to mention a rich community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just before students arrived for the new school year, Alvarez suffered an accident in the auditorium, and he suffered a concussion and whiplash. Nine weeks later, he is still receiving treatment for this incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn spite of the accident, I\u2019ve been working as best as I can at my own pace,\u201d Alvarez said. \u201cIf it hadn\u2019t been for the concussion, I would be more caught up with work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After several weeks of constant schedule changes for seniors, Alvarez said that he is finally breathing a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has been challenging adjusting seniors\u2019 schedules and to ensure that they are on paths of success,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s no room to make mistakes with students\u2014especially with seniors earning the necessary credits to graduate in May.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the future, Alvarez said he plans to make Pueblo his \u201csecond home\u201d and to continue to monitor his seniors\u2019 destiny to graduate in eight months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also has a personal connection to Pueblo; Alvarez’ son, Gabriel \u201cEscorpi\u00f3n\u201d Alvarez, is a student here at Pueblo and a member of Mariachi Aztl\u00e1n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
