Principal's Corner - Mrs. Racheal Leckrone
I grew up in Sorento, a small farm community located in Bond County. I currently live in Moro with my husband, Jarrod, and my two daughters, Alissa and Taylor. I graduated from SIUE with my bachelor's degree in elementary education in 2012, earned my master's degree in special education in 2015, and completed my education specialist degree in administration and special education director endorsement in 2017. I started my career as a special education teacher in Staunton and have since been a special education teacher at both Trimpe Middle School and Civic Memorial High School.
When I am not working, I love spending time with my family and friends, running, reading, and traveling whenever we can. Taylor will be in 8th grade this year, and I love to watch her play field hockey and play the viola in orchestra. Alissa is entering her freshman year, and soon we will be chasing her around watching her run cross country and play the saxophone in band.
With small town roots, the Bethalto School District has felt like home since the very beginning, and I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the Bethalto East family. From what I have learned so far, the entire Bethalto East staff is a wonderful, loving, and dedicated group of people, who care about our students very much, and it is an honor to be joining them as their principal. Please stop by East to say hello and introduce yourself and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or compliments for the amazing staff! :)
