Letter: A tribute to Guiteras School

Posted

Reading the article in the Bristol Phoenix about the closing of Guiteras School immediately brought back the early memories where my 45 years of teaching secondary-school mathematics began in 1963 at Guiteras School, before continuing at Mt. Hope High, Middletown High, and finally at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro.

My hat is tipped to that great building called Guiteras and all the teachers I had who impacted my life, sparking the passion to love mathematics, namely Alice Barlow, Anthony Iasiello, Frank Campagna and at Colt Memorial School, Michael Securo.

If only those walls could talk. I hope I made them proud as my career unfolded. As Nicky Piper, chairwoman of the school committee said, “it closes with a little sadness.”

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
