Hello and welcome to the OHS Art Department.  My name is Amanda Nichols and I am the Art Teacher at Oakwood High School, in Fithian, Illinois. I have been teaching at OHS since 2017. I attended Eastern Illinois University for my teaching degree as well as my Master's degree. Art is connected to every aspect of our lives, whether we realize it or not, and I strive to help students see the value of Art Education. When not designing new lessons, I spend time with my 2 kids and rescue dogs.
