Mrs. Brooks
HEALTH SCIENCE
Hello and Welcome to Health Science!
My name is Mrs. Brooks and I am very excited to be starting my fourth year at Hickory High School. I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a graduate certificate in Middle and Secondary Teaching from Appalachian State University. When not at school, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my husband Andrew and our fur baby Reese. I look forward to a great school year. Go Tornadoes!
