Jerry Helm

Jerry has been at the helm of the Tucson Branch ESU Shakespeare competition since 1992, 26 Years! Before that he taught English for 36 years at Pueblo HS - all levels from 9^th grade to 12^th grade AP. He coached swimming and tennis and held the Shakespeare competition at his school starting in 1988. "Nay [then] it is ten times [3] true"!—almost 30 years of supporting Shakespeare in the schools! Jerry carefully chooses the quotes for each year's T-shirt.

Always teaching, this year he chose:

"The fool both think he is a wise man, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
