Newberry Middle’s Black History Educator Tribute
Mrs. Zandria Hicks, is from Greenwood, SC, but she currently resides in Ninety-Six, SC. She attended Piedmont Technical College where she earned her Associate Degree in Early Childhood. She then attended Liberty University where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in education. Before she started teaching here at Newberry Middle School, she was teaching young at risk boys from ages 12-18 at AMI kids Piedmont located in Clinton, SC, for 5 years. In the year of 2019, she was given a great opportunity to teach math at Newberry Middle School.
She states, “Teaching at Newberry Middle School is truly a wonderful experience. She loves the diversity that we have and how we collaborate to do what is best for our students. She was recently awarded Teacher of the Month at NMS, of which she was honored to be recognized by her peers.
She is happily married to her husband Lee. They have four lovely children. They also have two bonus children—Mrs. Hick’s mother and father, whom she absolutely adores!
Her career goal is to become the best math teacher she can be for her students this way she can leave an everlasting effect on their live. In her spare time, she watches movies with her husband, exercise, ride their bikes, and most importantly watch football games together. They both are die hard Dallas Cowboy fans!
Mrs. Hicks works the NMS After School Program and serves as a bus aide in addition to her teacher duties! We are proud of Mrs. Hicks!
Congratulations Mrs. Hicks on your many accomplishments! We are proud to have you serve as a teacher here at NMS. Continue making history!
