Rhea Sanders
School Secretary
BIO
I have been the secretary at MES since January 2015! Both my daughters attend here, so I consider myself very blessed to be in the same building as them every day. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Business Management so I never imagined this path. That being said, I truly enjoy working here! Our faculty and staff are not only my colleagues, but my friends. I love being able to see the students from year to year, how they grow and mature. I sincerely hope they all see me as positive, helpful and encouraging. Our school is so special and our students are unique. I’m incredibly fortunate to be part of it! Outside of being a secretary, you will find me with my family. I’ve been married to my husband Brad since 2006. We have two precious daughters, Aila and Elin. I love to cook, bake, decorate my home, enjoy nature and just focus on my family. We attend Tracy City church of Christ.
