We are excited to welcome Mrs. Rachael Parkey to #THENEST as our next PK-12 Principal! Her passion, dedication, and experience will serve our school community very well!
Hello, Cardinals! I am honored to introduce myself, Rachael Parkey, as the 2023-24 Stewartsville PK-12 Principal. I grew up in the small town of Wheeling, MO. I have been an educator for 16 years serving as a high school mathematics teacher and instructional coach. In 2007, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Missouri Valley College and my Master of Science in Education in K-12 Educational Leadership in 2019.
My teaching career began as a mathematics instructor at the Raymore-Peculiar Freshman Center in 2007, before moving to teach at my high school alma mater in Chillicothe, MO. In 2014, my family relocated to Cameron, MO. When we moved, I began as a high school mathematics teacher at Cameron High School and in 2019, I was named the PreK-5 Instructional Coach for the Cameron R-1 School District.
I currently live in Cameron, MO, with my husband, Chris, and three children, Vivian (10), Gavin (8), and Ivan (6). I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my kids participate in sports, being outdoors, reading, and running. My most recent personal accomplishment was running my first marathon. I am grateful for the opportunity and eager to serve the staff, students, and community members in the Stewartsville C-2 School District. We are going to have an exciting 2023-24 school year at #THENEST!
