My name is Nancy Wicker and I am a graduate of Meredith College. I earned my BS in Child Development and I am certified K-6. This is my 20th year teaching in the public school system and my 12th year here at Mangum. I am beyond thrilled to be teaching Kindergarten, here at Mangum. I am married to a wonderful guy named Kevin. I have two terrific children. Michael is a junior at UNC-G where he is on the golf team and Libby is a rising 9th grader at Northern High School. I love DPS and Mangum has my heart.

Hello Mangum Families! This is my 24th year with DPS! I am so excited to be an Instructional Assistant again this year in Kindergarten with Leslie Fenlon, as well as in 3rd grade with Chris Dixon. Because of my Nursing background, I particularly enjoy supporting students with various medical needs and being part of the Emergency Response team.
On a personal note, I have been married for 36 years to my college sweetheart, Michael. God has given us 2 wonderful children who are both married, one aorable grandson and another little one on the way! My hobbies include Photography, DIY crafts, and crocheting.
I am so thankful to be a part of the Mangum team!
