ICYMI WCPO: Miami grad starts teaching career at Middletown Middle School
*IN CASE YOU MISSED IT*
WCPO’s Ally Kramer visited Middletown Middle School and spoke with first year teacher Miss Rachel Sutphin. Miss Sutphin joins the Middletown Middle School staff as a math teacher. Miss Sutphin is a 2019 Miami University graduate and in the span of three months, she went from being the one taught to the one doing the teaching.

Ultimately, Miss Sutphin came to Middletown Schools because “of the culture in the district and the passion of the administrators.”
