Mrs. Richelle Pretzer

Hello! My name is Richelle Pretzer, and I am the 7th Grade Science teacher here at Carnahan STEAM. I am originally from the island of Barbados but have been living here in the USA for more than 15 years. I live in St. Louis with my husband and our 6-year-old daughter who starts 1st 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 in science. 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, while also enjoying the discovery and investigative processes that come naturally with science phenomena. 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.
