Hi Porter Patriots!

My name is Dr. Helain Nicholson and I am a native Chicagoan.  I have been an educator for the past 17 years.  I received a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Loyola University, Chicago, a masters' degree in Elementary Education from University of Phoenix, and a doctorate degree in Educational Leadership, from the University of Phoenix. I have taught kindergarten, 1st grade, and K-8th grade art. This is my 2nd year teaching Art at Porter.

Mrs. Mergler and I look forward to working with your children in September! We can't wait to see the masterpieces that our students will create this year! :-)
