Ms. Richelle Pretzer

Hello! My name is Richelle Pretzer, and I am the 7th Grade Science teacher here at Carnahan STEAM. This will be my fourth-year teaching in SLPS but my first year here at Carnahan. I am originally from the island of Barbados but have been living here in the USA for 15 years. I have been living in St. Louis for the 7 years with my husband and our 5-year-old daughter who starts Kindergarten this year. As a family we enjoy playing sports and baking.

Being a teacher runs in my family as both of my parents were educators, as well as some of my aunts and uncles. I have two bachelor's degrees in Dietetics and Nutrition. In addition to two master's degrees in Public Health and Education. I am certified in Middle School Science, Health, and Physical Education.

This year I am committed to providing high quality instruction to every student and working towards the shared goal of student achievement. Our classroom will have high expectations for student engagement, student preparation for lessons and completion of daily and weekly assignments. In each class, students will be challenged with rigorous material along with academic support. I invite you to join us as we work together to ensure that students are equipped with the tools and support, they need in and outside of the classroom.
