Mrs. Nichole Hedgepeth

My name is Nichole Hedgepeth, and I will begin my 22nd year of teaching this year. I graduated from Winthrop with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I also have my Master's Degree, which I received from Columbia College. 
When I am away from school, I get to spend time with even more children....my 14-year-old triplets, Abby, Claire, and Brayden. They are entering 9th grade this year at Catawba Ridge. I have been married to my husband, Joseph, for 21 years.  As a family, we love to be outside. We enjoy going out on the boat, swimming, and Carowinds.
I cannot wait to begin another year of teaching at Independence. Your child is at one of the greatest schools there is, where everyone works together to do what is best for children. We are going to have a great year, and I look forward to working with you and your child this year to make it the best year possible!
