Meet Mrs. Tibbs
Hi there!  My name is Nicole Harris Tibbs, and I am excited to serve as your child’s teacher this year.  This is my seventh year in education, and my fifth year teaching at Calhoun Middle School.  I graduated from the State University of West Georgia with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management.  After working in the banking industry, I followed in my mother’s footsteps and pursued my love of education and teaching Language Arts and Reading.  I earned my teaching certification through the GA TAPP program.  I obtained my Master’s in Leadership through Kennesaw State University, and I am currently working on my Education Specialist in Teaching and Learning through Piedmont College. 

I am a true believer in life-long learning.  I attended Calhoun City Schools as a child, and I got a very good educational foundation here, and I feel privileged to work in this school system.  I am married to Matt Tibbs, and I have two sons who both attend Calhoun City Schools.  You may see my name in The Calhoun Times from time to time because I write as the monthly guest Parenting/Education columnist.  This is an outlet for me to pursue my love of writing, and I often write about my travel experiences.  I feel we learn the most when we step outside the box and try new things and visit new places.  I am grateful for the opportunity to teach your child this year.  I am ready to inspire your child and excited to share my love of reading and writing.  Please contact me any time to discuss your child’s progress.

Class Introduction
I teach 8th grade English/Language Arts, and we follow the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS).  I will broaden students’ reading experiences and help deepen their study of Georgia history by reading Georgia authors and helping students make connections between the author, the work, and Georgia.  I work with students to refine their writing styles and grammatical skills to produce quality essays as we prepare for the 8th Grade Writing Test.  If you have the opportunity to be in one of my classes, I encourage you to review the information present here in order to be well prepared for this school year.  I look forward to a great year together as we explore the heritage of the state of Georgia and more through our reading and as we advance our writing skills.
