Hello, my name is Rachel Wright and I am the first grade teacher at Lake Crest.  I  was born and raised in Oakland, Illinois.  I have one son, Tyler, who also graduated from Oakland High School.  I received my Associates in Science from Lincoln Trail College.  While attending Jr. College I was a member of the volleyball and basketball teams.  I received my bachelors degree from Eastern Illinois University.  I began substitute teaching for several area schools in 2008.  I was hired as a full time teacher at Lake Crest in the fall of 2010.  I love boating and soaking up the sun at our lake house in the Ozarks.  I am a huge sports fan.  My favorite teams include the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Fighting Illini, and of course the Tri-County Titans!
