Welcome to Physics!

Hello physics students! My name is Kelly Hicks and I am very excited to be your physics teacher for the 2025-26 school year. This is my second year at St. Andrew’s. Prior to moving to St. Andrew’s, I taught at Germantown High School for 13 years. Before that, I was a mechanical engineer primarily working in the aerospace field.

As a physics student, you will study the laws that govern our physical world while considering matter, motion and energy. Through physics we learn more about the world around us and hopefully come to understand that there are specific principles that help explain the behavior of objects when forces are applied and also the nature of gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear force fields.

A calculator is REQUIRED for this course.

Remember that all of your grades for assignments, quizzes, tests, etc. can be found in MySA. This website is just for you to access content for the course.
