Hi, my name is Nicole Montgomery and I’m excited to join the GCHS MSD team! I’ve been in the world of education of eight years. I spent the last three years at GMS where I was an Exceptional Educator in LBD and MSD settings. My passion is working with students with special needs and with students who just need a little extra love because of behavioral needs. In my free time I love British crime dramas, spending time with my family, thrifting, and watching the cows from my back porch.
