About Mrs. Richters

The 2021-2022 school year will be my 33rd year of teaching, and my 23rd year at Miami East. I began teaching at Miami East in 1999 and taught first grade for 2 years. After having my first child, I decided to teach part time and made a move to kindergarten. I remained there for 9 years. In 2010, I moved back up to first and am loving it! Before coming to Miami East, I taught 6th grade in Bradford, OH, and Dayton, OH. I also taught 3rd grade in Las Vegas, NV, and 5th and 6th grades as well as junior high in Omaha, NE.

I grew up in southern Oklahoma and attended college in Shawnee, Oklahoma, at St. Gregory's University before transferring to Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, where I received my B.S. in Elementary Education. I received my Masters Degree from Marygrove College in Detroit, MI.

I live in Troy with my husband, Doug, and my two daughters, Meredith and Annie. Meredith gradated from Miami East in 2018. She is a senior at Ohio Wesleyan University where she plays flute/piccolo in the marching band and swims on the OWU swim team. Annie graduated from Miami East in 2021! She is a freshman at Ohio Northern University and will swim on the ONU swim team.

In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, reading, and assisting with the Miami East Swim team!! Go Viking swimmers!

"Teaching has always been important to me. It is a career that I love very much. My mission is to have high expectations of my students both academically and socially. I will do all I can to help my students meet my expectations. I want them to be productive both in and out of the classroom. "
