Bio:  My name is Amanda Niehoff and I am entering my 16th year of teaching and coaching. I am originally from Edmond, Oklahoma where I graduated from Santa Fe High School; Class of 2004. I attended my first year of college at Carl Albert State College on a full athletic scholarship for women's basketball. From there, I was recruited by the University of South Alabama and finished my remaining eligibility as a member of the women's basketball team. While in school, I earned my bachelor's degree in Secondary Education-Social Studies. Upon completing my student teaching at Davidson High School, I graduated December 2008 and began teaching at Ums-Wright (August 2009-May 2015). From June 2015 through May 2023, I served in as the Head Women's Basketball Coach at St. Paul's Episcopal High School, Middle School Soccer Coach, Women's Golf Coach, and served on the Physical Education staff. I am beginning my 2nd year at Saraland High School serving as the Head Women's Basketball Coach and 1 of 3 Career Preparedness teachers. 

I have been married 12 years to my husband Tyler Niehoff. We have one son, James, who will be attending Saraland Elementary entering in the 4th grade. We have two dogs, Riley and Jack, and currently reside in Daphne, Alabama. We enjoy sailing, fishing, and golfing as a family. Saturday's in the Fall include Football, Food, and Friends. We love sporting events, college hoops, and March Madness. We are so excited to be a part of the Saraland High School Family and Spartan Nation!!!
