About Mrs. Richters

The 2019-2020 school year will be my 31st year of teaching, and my 21st 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 attending Ohio Wesleyan University where she will play in the marching band and swim on the OWU swim team. Annie is a junior at Miami East and enjoys playing her clarinet in the band and will be on the high school swim team.

In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, running my girls to swim team practice, working on digital scrapbooking 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. "
