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 20th year of 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, 12 years old, and Anderson, 3 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! I like to shop, travel, and go to the beach in my spare time. I also love watching Alabama football with my family.
