My name is Emily Nichols, the College and Career Counselor for THS. I have been in Tomball ISD since 2007, and began my career in education in 1998. I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a BA in Fashion Merchandising, and a minor in General Business. In 2004 I received my Masters of Education in School Counseling from Sam Houston State University.
