Cynthia Nobles is one of many new teachers here at Pueblo West High School, and she is teaching Personal/Business Finance and Marketing 1. She taught Intro to Business, Finance, Health Careers, and Word Processing before coming to our school in Pagosa Springs.
“I was a pirate…Arrrr,” she jokes.
Nobles enjoys that there are many programs for our students at Pueblo West High and there is a lot of variety in our school.
“The students seem very dedicated and have a wide variety of interests. They are very friendly and pretty accepting of each other that I can tell. Everyone just seems to get along with each other” Nobles explained of her opinion on our students.
When asked if she liked her co workers, Nobles exclaimed “Oh! They’re great, just the best! The thing that surprised me is that they reached out to me even before I came. During the summer they were emailing me and making sure if I had any questions, just to ask.”
Nobles decided to become a teacher in an unplanned manner. She had a lot of science and business in college but she was aiming to open up her own veterinary practice. Her husband went into graduate school and she believed that they both shouldn’t go at the same time. So, Nobles went into work right after college and started coaching a youth 14 and a youth 16 boys soccer team. It was there that she discovered that she was fond of that age group and liked giving instruction and watching them succeed. She applied all those ideas and decided to go back to school for a year to become a teacher.
Noble went to Cal Poly Pomona College in California. She is very logical and science and math are her favorite subjects to study.
The craziest thing she has done was go Sand Tobogganing in Tangalooma Island, Australia with a group of students from all over the country. There she also got to feed wild dolphins in an enclosed area. Her favorite kind of ice cream is black walnut and her main hobby is sailing. Nobles hopes to have a good year here at Pueblo West High School.
