Hello everyone! My name is Rachel Studdard. I just want to start by saying how excited I am to start this journey with all of you! This is my first year teaching, but rest assured, this is going to be a great year! I graduated from Bryant High School in 2019 with Honors and was captain of the varsity soccer team. I was a member of National Honor Society, and on Student Senate. I also went to Salem Elementary so that makes me extra excited to be back on my stomping grounds!
I graduated from Arkansas State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in December of 2023. I am currently getting my Master's Degree in Elementary Administration through the University of Arkansas. Go Red Wolves and WPS! :)
Although this is my first official teaching job, I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. I worked at the Bryant Boys and Girls Club in high school, and at First United Methodist Learning Center in Jonesboro for 3 years while in college. I have spent most of my life around and mentoring children, and I cannot wait to help your children grow academically.
I played soccer for over 12 years, so if you see me at Midland Soccer Field coaching, do not be surprised! There is a banner hanging up at the high school football stadium with our state championship team on it. It is one of my greatest accomplishments!
