Welcome to The Library @ The Nest! My name is Ms. Francis. I love being a Nighthawk already! This is my 4th year working with middle school students, previous I taught 7th grade at River Oaks Middle School down the road. I grew up in Michigan, graduated from Michigan State University and I am currently receiving my MLIS from the University of South Carolina.
Ms. Pridgen is our amazing, super, fantastic, wonderful, awesome, magnificent, fantastic, terrific, helpful, AND bilingual media clerk. She's lived in NC, CA, and now SC. Ms. Pridgen cheers for Duke and the Eagles!The Library @ The Nest is lucky to have her.
