Mrs. Gretchen Peichel

My name is Gretchen Peichel and I am the 5th grade teacher at St. Raphael Catholic School.  I have received my Bachelors of Arts from Ashford University. This is my first year as a teacher, however; I have been a part of this great school for many years, either as a teacher’s assistant, or as a substitute teacher.

I moved to Springfield nine years ago from Colorado, and have loved making Springfield my home with my husband Greg and my two children, Kyla and Vincent.

I love spending time with my family and friends.  I am one who loves to go camping, hiking, and traveling to see the wonderful sights the world has to offer.   I am very excited for this school year, and look forward to getting to know the students, and to be a part of St. Raphael School.
