About Me
Hi and welcome,
This is my second year as assistant principal of Golden Sierra HS, and it has been an honor to work with students, staff, parents, and the community to improve school culture and academic progress for all students. I pride myself on providing transparency and availability to support the development and growth of your child.
Prior to my work in administration, I had taught at Golden Sierra for 5 years as a special education teacher. Prior to this, I worked in a variety of special needs schools in Australia (my home country, G'Day!). I have always enjoyed working with students with diverse needs and helping them meet their individual needs toward becoming independent, high-achieving adults.
When I am not Mr. Nicholson the teacher, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, and playing live music!
Please do not hesitate to contact me via email or school phone if you have any concerns or needs.
