We demand that Nicole Sykes Pryor be rehired at Emerald Coast Middle School as a 5th grade teacher and coach for softball and basketball for the 2016/2017 school year.
Mrs.Pryor has been employed by Emerald Coast Middle School for the past 4 and half years and has received a rating of "effective " the past two years for her students. She has had a winning record in basketball and softball and her volleyball team showed great improvement. She is highly regarded by parents and the community for her fair and ethical behavior.
For school administration at the local or county level to dismiss a teacher, with no prior disciplinary record and a stellar reputation in the classroom and on the court/field, is unacceptable. Mrs.Pryor's dedication to her students and her athletes has proven to endure past their years at Emerald Coast Middle School, into their high school career, as she is a mentor for many of her former students and players to this day.

The stories coming in about Mrs. Pryor reveal the real impact she had on her students. I am currently reaching out to school board members to ensure they read these testimonials.

I personally thought coach Pryor did a great job with the softball team. She is a coach who demands her players to be accountable on and off the field. I hope she can remain as the middle school coach and it was certainly a shock to our whole family to hear this news. Kindest regards, Sonny Waldfogel
As a sports official she was a great coach to work with she worried about teaching her girls the right way instead of yelling and blaming the officials for everything. As a Aunt to a student who had her I know he liked as a teacher. I have no idea why they would get rid of someone I have heard nothing but good about.
My daughter didn't make the varsity team, she didn't always start on the JV team, but my daughter knows why, she simply wasn't working hard enough to deserve it. Coach Pryor pushed my daughter to try harder, work harder and to earn her spot. Not just in sports, but in class everyday. Coach Pryor is a fair person with a huge heart for every student at ECMS.
I have known Nicole since way back. I also was blessed to have a stepdaughter who has been on her basketball team and know she is a wonderful mentor to those ladies. Letting her go is a huge mistake. She comes from an amazing family and can't imagine her being anything, but a blessing to that school.
Mrs. Pryor has taught my children and coached them in Basketball, Volleyball for the past 3 years. We will do what we can to have her back. She's more than a teacher or a coach she is a ROLE MODEL to my girls!! She values work ethic, positive attitudes win or lose! We really really need these teachers/coaches a part of our school system in Walton County!
mrs.pryor was the best no one could replace her, im scared to do volley ball, we need her BADLY

Mrs. Pryor makes an impact on students in the classroom and as a coach. If the school has a reason to not rehire her it needs to be disclosed. If there is no legitimate reason then this is not only an injustice to Mrs. Pryor, but to the kids that she would have taught/coached.
