"Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela 

My name is Corey Nordike and I am a 2014 graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.  I graduated from SIUE with a Bachelor of Science in Geography and a minor in Political Science.  I also received my elementary teaching certificate from the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence.  

I am very adventurous and love to travel.  A few things I have accomplished:  volunteered for AmeriCorps, studied abroad in Ireland, worked as an Emergency Medical Technician, taught Pre-K - High School students in Illinois and Florida, and backpacked through China.  I have a love for learning and a passion for teaching.  I am excited to be here at Patrick Henry.  I look forward to getting to know you.  

If you ever need to reach me, please do not hesitate to reach out.  E-mail is the best form of communication.  I am here to assist in any way that I can.
