Labor Day Profile: Local Teacher's History of Success

Nicole Keichline lives in a charming Springfield Cape Cod that was built by her great-grandparents in the 1950s. 

Keichline graduated from in 2005 and is beginning her seventh year of teaching history at Alexis I. du Pont High School in Greenville, Delaware. 

What is your favorite thing about your job?

"I love history," said Keichline. "I absolutely love working with kids and learning from kids! Every fall, I get the chance to meet new kids, build amazing relationships and work in a very positive environment year after year. It keeps me young and will forever keep me young at heart!"

Extracurricular Activities

Keichline donates much of her free time to her school's community. She is the Junior class board advisor, and works closely with the Junior class during homecoming and prom season. She has thrown five successful proms, with the most recent theme being "Illusion's Hour."

"I also love spending time with my husband, family, friends, and our husky, Kodah," said Keichline. 

If you could do anything else what would it be?

Keichline hopes to start a family down the road. If she weren't a high school history teacher, she might aspire to be a florist.

"I also really enjoy arranging flowers," said Keichline. "It may sound funny, but I find myself at peace when I'm working on arrangements."
