Norwalk High's Own Lindsay Martinez Paredes Sheds Light on Educators' Passions and Challenges

In the new interview series 'Why I Teach - Lindsay Martinez Paredes Interviews...', initiated by an intern at Norwalk High School's NPS Communications Department, educators share their experiences and motivations. Lindsay Martinez Paredes, a junior at the school, interviews faculty members about their commitment to education. The series offers teachers a platform to discuss their professional experiences, inspirations, and mental health strategies.

The first educator featured is Mr. Anthony Pagano, who teaches in the Digital Media and Communications Academy (DMCA) at Norwalk High School. His courses include Advanced Media, Broadcast Journalism, Sports Media, and college-level media classes. Mr. Pagano appreciates the collaborative environment at NHS, which he believes enhances learning.

Mr. Pagano is proud of the DMCA program, especially when students work on projects for external clients. He mentions the annual FCIAC Hall of Fame project, where students create documentary films for Fairfield County coaches. He values the positive feedback from stakeholders at the annual dinner event, which reflects well on his students' achievements.

Mr. Pagano does not attribute his inspiration to a single individual but to many educators he has worked with throughout his career. This network has significantly influenced his professional growth and continues to inspire him.
