About Mr. Nichols.. I come from an educational family including grandparents who were teachers and principals, a mother who was a kindergarden teacher for 40 years, and several friends who are teachers. Because I come from a strong educational family background, I appreciate the value of a good education. I have always wanted to be a teacher and love my job. I attended Sam Houston State University and majored in education. I began my teaching career five years ago in Conroe ISD. I love history and truly believe it is a window into our past, present, and future. I am excited to join the Cornerstone staff and contribute to its continual success!
