Hello!  I just finished my 6th year at Lone Star and 7th year teaching overall.  I taught part time at Renaissance High School for 1 year.  I met my husband at Lone Star in 2014 where he still teaches.  I have 14 1/2 year old twin stepkids- Nolan and Lorien.  They will be freshman at Centennial.  We also have a 2 1/2 year old son, Jackson who goes to Nampa Christian Pre-School.  I grew up in Bend, OR where my family still lives.  I got a full ride basketball scholarship to NNU and got drafted to play basketball over in Germany but decided (thanks to some convincing of Dr. Kellerer) to stay and finish my degree.  I coached Varsity basketball at Victory Charter School for 2 years and then coached the Frosh/Soph girls basketball team at Rocky Mountain.  I love teaching, but I start classes for nursing school on August 24th!  I also teach part time for IDLA and am a Scentsy consultant!

I'm Georgia Thies. I am teaching secondary English. I have been doing the content design for 6th through 12th grade, but not totally sure which grades I'll actually be teaching yet. I'm on a new computer and don't have any pictures on it yet, sorry!
I have been teaching at Nampa High for the last 5 years and was at Payette for two years before that. I have taught 9-11th grade English, and 6-12th grade art. I also (tried to) run a journalism club at Nampa High.

Fun Fact: while lying in bed one morning thinking of names for the school NOVA came to mind so I threw it in the OneNote and was very surprised to hear Paula announce it for the first time during the meeting last Spring.

I have 4 kids and an exchange student coming this year from Mexico. We had her sister 2 years ago so have become really close with the family. I also coach cheer at Nampa High!
