Chapman Middle School is proud to announce that choir director Mr. Nathanael Hicks has been selected as our Teacher of the Year!

Driven by an unwavering passion for music and a deep dedication to his students, Mr. Hicks brings energy and warmth to our school community every day. In his classroom, music is more than just notes on a page; it is a pathway for self-expression, personal growth, and self-discovery.

Through his guidance, students do far more than learn how to sing. Mr. Hicks nurtures diverse talents, instills lasting confidence, and inspires young minds to find their own unique voices both on and off the stage. His ability to encourage every student to step into the spotlight and reach their full potential makes a profound impact throughout our halls.

Chapman Middle School is truly blessed to have such a talented, selfless, and inspiring educator on our team. Please join us in congratulating Mr. Hicks on this well-deserved recognition!
