Rachelle Fast
I have been teaching for 20+ years. I have taught several subjects at Manteca high, but I currently teach Psychology, Success 101, and Advanced Business Entrepreneurship. All three of these classes encourage students to adopt a new perspective. I enjoy the connection I have the opportunity to make with my students especially as they transition to adulthood. The best part of teaching is seeing the pride students feel when they learn a new concept. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kid. I love to travel and explore new cities during vacations.
