All About Ms. Rush
Hello! My name is Katelyn Rush and I am a 5th grade teacher at East Elementary! I have been teaching here at East since 2017 and I can't wait to meet this new group of kiddos! East is a VERY special place that I love to work at!
I grew up here in Jefferson City, Missouri and attended Moreau Heights Elementary, Lewis and Clark Middle School, and Jefferson City High School. After that, I went on to receive my degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri in May 2017. While there, I played softball as a pitcher for three years. I also received my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from William Woods University in July 2019. In December 2024, I received my Elementary Math Specialist Degree from Mizzou!
I absolutely LOVE teaching! I can't wait to get to know each of my students and their families!
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, spending time with my dogs, Luna, Roscoe and Josie (They are all SUPER spoiled), traveling, being outside, playing softball and golf, and reading!
