Stafford, Va. — A Stafford County High School principal has been named one of the county’s top educators.
Tom Nichols of North Stafford High School was selected by Stafford County Public Schools as their 2011 Principal of the Year and has also been honored by the Washington Post in their Distinguished Educational Leadership Awards.
According to Stafford County Schools Nichols has taught in Stafford since 1991, beginning his career as a technology teacher and founding the first modular technology foundations lab in Virginia, at Brooke Point High School, where he also served as Assistant Principal.
