Ericka Ciganek
Welcome! I am Ericka Ciganek, and am working as the interim principal for IntelliSchool Metro. Since moving from Chicago in 2004, I have worked as a pre-k through middle school teacher, instructional coach, and school administrator. I continued my educational aspirations as a program specialist with the Arizona Department of Education and the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools. My passion is improving schools through cultural change and academics. When I am not working or playing with my three daughters, you can find me running for miles with my Border Collie. My face might be familiar to many students since I currently work as the assistant superintendent for IntelliSchool. I look forward to supporting students in meeting their graduation goal! Please reach out to me with any questions.

Nick Tadin
Hello, my name is Nick Tadin, Lead Counselor at IntelliSchool. I have been with IntelliSchool for almost 7 years now and have loved every minute of it. I have experience working with students in classrooms as well as society, which has helped me understand the process of intervention, crisis prevention, academic advisement, and career development. Also, my education in counseling and psychology has allowed me to learn the nuances of people while providing me with excellent interpersonal / communication skills, and the ability to work with a diverse population of students, faculty, staff, and parents. I enjoy thrifting and antiquing. I have a strong interest in vintage computers and enjoy working on them with my son.
