About Mrs. Nicholson...
The 2018-2019 school year will be my 21st year of teaching. I taught two years at Mountain Island Elementary in 5th grade before moving up to teach 6th grade science at Coulwood Middle School. After a year there, I decided that elementary school was where I belonged! I taught 5th grade at Berewick Elementary for one year, and I was the K-5 Science Lab teacher for five years. I am so happy to return for the fourth year as the K-5 STEAM Lab teacher at Oakhurst S.T.E.A.M Academy!
I moved to North Carolina the summer of 2006 from Bullhead City, Arizona where I taught 3rd grade for four years, and 5th grade for two years. I taught one year of 2nd grade and one year of 6th grade in Cheyenne, Wyoming before moving to Arizona. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Wyoming, and I received my Master's degree from Northern Arizona University.
I love traveling to see my dad in Wyoming , and my brother, Brian, his wife Jessie, and my nieces Noelani and Kalei in Alaska. Brian has been teaching in Alaska for the past 18 years.
When not in school you can catch me reading a book, going to movies, watching football and basketball with my husband, or traveling to visit different states and countries. My favorite team is the Denver Broncos, but I'm a big Panthers fan too! Two of my favorite places to go are Disneyland in California, or Disney World in Florida. I have three dogs named Paisley, Tucker, and Riley who are like my kids!
