Nicole Rice

Nicole Rice has spent 30 years as a certified high school technology teacher, is the daughter of two high school teachers, and trains a new set of students each fall as the district’s expert geek squad. She received her BS in Communications at the U of Maryland and her Masters in Reading at SUNY Oneonta. In the summers she and her husband, (aka high school sweetheart) have a marina on a lake in NY. They raised their 2 daughters who grew up working in the general store and now both live in CA but still call and tell her everything. Mrs. Rice spends 6 hours a day with technology and aspiring teenagers, as they become older think their parents are outdated and “they just don’t get it.” That’s why she loves providing inspiration in her high school series with simple questions that parents or others can ask to spark a conversation with teens. She shares hallway stories and teen quotes, revealing that teens really do want to spend time together and talk to adults to help them survive life.
