Meet Mrs. Bryant
Rachael Bryant graduated from Truman State University with her Masters in Elementary Education. After graduation, she taught 3rd grade in the Park Hill School District in Kansas City for four years before moving to Springfield with her husband to be closer to family. Rachael started subbing for the Lower School at the Summit the following school year and became captivated by the school culture and early childhood education. She is thrilled to be part of the community full time.
Outside of education, Rachael loves to spend quality time with pets and family members. She also enjoys diving into ebooks, working on embroidery designs, and tackling the next exciting house project. Staying active is another key part of her routine, whether it’s walking in nature, lifting, or yoga.
