My name is Nancy Nieder. This is my first year teaching at St. Joan of Arc. I am very excited to be here not only because I love teaching language arts to seventh and eighth grade students, but because I also attended St. Joan of Arc, and have many wonderful memories from my years as a student.

 

I am entering my 20th year of teaching English and literature at the middle school and high school levels. I graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia in addition to obtaining a teaching certificate in English, and a MA in secondary education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

 

My past teaching experience includes seven years at St. Joseph Elementary School in Imperial Missouri, eleven years at Affton High School, and one year at Holy Cross Academy. I am happy to be teaching in a Catholic school because it provides me with the opportunity share my faith. One of my greatest joys has been seeing the many successes of former students.

My married life began 34 years ago, right here at St. Joan of Arc Church.  I have three children and two grandchildren. I love walking, reading and traveling, but most of all, I enjoy spending time with my family and helping with my granddaughters.
