Welcome to 1st grade!!!  My name is Mrs. Nicole Rhoads and I am thrilled to be your child's teacher this year.  This is my 18th year teaching and it is my passion.  My heart and soul go into this job and I promise to love and challenge your child this year.  I have been married for 16 years to my husband, Yarby.  We have two boys, Zack, who is 11 years old, and Anderson, who is 2 years old. We attend St. Thomas Church in Chickasaw.  I grew up in Saraland and attended Satsuma High.  I love being a first grade teacher and teaching in my home community!  In my spare time, I like to shop, travel, and go to the beach.  I also love watching Alabama football with my family.
