Nicholas Evans has started as a teacher this year. He’s teaching Special Education, along with freshman academy, language arts, and learning strategies. He loves all of it.
“I’ve always wanted to teach, but I’ve never gotten around to it,” Evans said. “You get to feel so much more and have so many more different experiences. It’s also more one-on-one which is more important to me.”
Before teaching, Evans was a construction worker. He worked construction for 25 years. Originally, he wanted to be a history teacher until he was a TA last year, which made him realize he wanted to teach special Ed.
Evans also is a football coach. Although double jobs at the high school are not ideal, he still enjoys it.
“Coaching and teaching can get hectic, but I love them both,” Evans said.
Evans’ time coaching has been highlights of his time working at NS.
“The only time I get frustrated is when I see the players not realizing their own potential and I’m not able to coach them in a way for them to see their potential,” Evans said.
