Mission Statement:
Nichols Elementary School strives to provide a SAFE, INVITING, CARING, and NURTURING
environment where the Nichols Community DREAM IT, BELIEVE IT, and ACHIEVE IT.
I am honored to serve as the Principal of Nichols Elementary. After twelve years as an Associate Principal here, I am excited to begin my first year leading this wonderful school community.
As a proud mother of three Northside Schools graduates and grandmother to two, I deeply value creating a strong sense of belonging for every child within our school. Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family and traveling.
My daily mission is to be a strong advocate for our students, ensuring every decision prioritizes their best interests. I am committed to making sure every child who walks through our doors has a positive experience that inspires a lifelong love of learning.
The Associate Principal also serves as the Campus Behavior Coordinator. They can be reached by email at nancy.garcia@nisd.net or by phone at 210-397-4050.
Hello Mustangs!
My name is Nancy Garcia and I am thrilled to be your new associate principal. I am very excited to meet each one of you and I can't wait to see all the amazing things that you will be doing in your classrooms this year. I look forward to working with our students, parents, staff and community, alike.
A little about me... This is my 18th year in education (Whew time sure does fly by when you're having fun!). My experience includes teaching 4th grade for four years in S.A.I.S.D. and 5th grade for eleven years with Northside. This is my third year in administration. I love my job as associate principal! My forte and favorite subject is math; I love a good fraction word problem. I am a native of San Antonio and a two-time alumni from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I have a bachelor's degree in business administration in accounting and a master's degree in educational leadership and policy studies. I love UTSA football and you are sure to find me at any home game. Go Runners!
I believe that positive relationships are the foundation to success. Once those relationships are formed, we set high expectations and we help each other grow. I look forward to the best year at Nichols Elementary! Go Mustangs!
