She quickly learned that she loved being involved in the school and with the students. She started coaching tennis in 2012. The business teacher at the high school was hinting at retirement so Mrs. Wright went back to school to get her teaching license and was hired as a full-time teacher in 2017.

Mrs. Wright was not a speech kid and thought speech was for English enthusiasts and avid readers. She quickly learned that several of the skills she teaches in business were relevant to speech. She is now fully committed to speech and loves it!

Mrs. Wright is obsessed with just a few things: her children, Dr. Pepper, cats, Michael Jordan, and Roger Federer. Fun facts about Mrs. Wright, she and her family have been to a game at all 30 MLB stadiums and she has been to all 50 states.
