Rachel Derck

Hello. I started teaching fifth through eighth grade math at St. Mary’s School in 2012. I graduated from the elementary education program at Aquinas College in 2010. I am certified to teach all subjects kindergarten through fifth grade as well as sixth through eighth grade language arts and math. I also have a master’s degree in Mathematics Education for Elementary and Middle School Teachers through Ball State University. Having grown up in Flint, I only became familiar with the West side of the state during my time at Aquinas College.

In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, James and going to nature walks. I am also a certified Jazzercise Instructor and enjoy teaching classes 2-3 times a week.

I feel very blessed every day to not only be living here, but also teaching in a Catholic school.  Go cyclones!
