Science teacher Bruce Coulter is leaving Lowell after 10 years of teaching chemistry and biology.
Coulter, who recently had a son, is leaving Lowell to be closer to his family. “My wife and I decided that we would like our son to grow up near his grandparents,” Coulter said. “And so we will be moving to the east coast in order to be closer to them.” Many students will miss Coulter’s laid back, surfer-boy attitude. “He is such a chill guy,” junior Archiell Duran said. “And he’s such a good teacher.” Other students will miss his sense of humor. “I love Mr. Coulter,” junior Melissa Hu said. “I’m so sad that he’s leaving because he’s such a good teacher, and he’s very funny.” Although many of Coulter’s colleagues say they will also miss him, both professionally and personally they support his decision to leave in order to raise his newborn son. “Not only has he been a popular chemistry teacher, he’s a good guy and he dedicates so much time to his students,” science department head Dacotah Swett said. “He’s one of those people who can cheer you up when he walks into the room. I will miss all the conversations that I have had with him. He is very philosophical and has a different take on life.” Swett also noted that Coulter will be missed for his exciting chemistry demonstrations that usually consist of blowing things up. Coulter will miss surfing and the variety of things that the city has to offer. “San Francisco is just a great town,” he said. “It’s urban and still has nature.” Coulter will be moving to Fairhaven, a town on the coast of New Jersey. He said that he will not continue to teacher there, nor does he know what he will do beyond focusing on his son. |
