Ms. Habelt has made this experience amazing for my son, JJ. She has gone above and beyond to say the least. Ms. Habelt has provided guidance and has a masterful gift of “explaining the most complex math problems in a very simple, understandable way” JJ has told me. Ms. Habelt is everything we hoped the Nichols experience would be and more. She has instilled confidence and made the experience enjoyable for JJ. Mrs. Howe was my son’s teacher and is now my daughter, Maya’s teacher. She guided JJ in his poetry writing and I am grateful that Maya also has an opportunity to benefit from Ms. Howe’s extraordinary teaching ability. Both Ms. Habelt and Mrs. Howe have a gift of leaving such a positive impression that will last a lifetime. It’s often been said that “a person may not always remember what someone said to them, but they will always remember how they were made to feel”. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful faculty at Nichols and I am truly grateful that Ms. Habelt and Mrs. Howe have left such lasting impressions on my children. I am truly grateful, and my children are very fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from each of them. Thank you!

Beth Stone was and still is a fantastic coach and mentor. Lacrosse memories from Nichols are the best. Growing and achieving all-American status as a senior under her coaching is invaluable and still makes me proud to this day. Proud to call her a teacher, coach, mentor, friend. And remarkable that Beth still gives so much to so many student- athletes over the years! What a legacy.

W. Richard Ohler (Alumni ’68)

In honor of W. Richard Ohler, Jr.
My father, W. Richard Ohler, Jr., taught at Nichols from the fall of 1947 until his untimely death in March of 1972. As an English teacher and three-sport coach, he made an impact on hundreds of young men. As recently as last June, when the '68ers gathered for their 55th reunion, former students from the late '50s into the '60s and early '70s shared with me how valuable their time with Dad had been, both in the classroom and on the diamond, gridiron or in the rink. He regarded teaching as a calling, rather than a job. One of the perks of his job--salaries were rather less than generous in those days--was the privilege of sending me to Nichols tuition-free. I am more and more grateful as the years go by.
