Getting to Know Your Teachers: Mr. Bullock

BY KATTYA PALACIOS – Staff Writer

One of the most athletic teachers at LHS, and undoubtedly the most fluent Spanish speaker is Mr. Nick Bullock. He is the Head Coach and offensive coordinator for the Lebanon High School JV football team. After interviewing him, I noticed many of his Spanish students having fun learning the material,  which is something not many teachers are capable of doing. He is also a very caring individual towards both his students and fellow staff members.
