According to the Diocese of San Diego, Fierro was deeply rooted in the Catholic school system in San Diego. He graduated from University High School in 2002, the predecessor to CCHS.
Fierro returned to CCHS in 2016 – but this time, as a social science teacher. Fierro also helped coach the CCHS football team and served as the athletic director at Notre Dame Academy, a feeder school to CCHS, the Diocese of San Diego said.
Fierro was beloved by his students and players.
“He really inspired me and that’s part of the reason I wanted to be a history major in college,” one of Fierro’s students told NBC 7 earlier this week. “He definitely taught me some of the most valuable things I know as a teacher and a mentor, and I will be forever grateful.”
