About Mrs. Raduenz
Hello!
I am Rachel Raduenz and I am thrilled to be back for my sixth year at Lester Prairie. I teach Social Studies, Enrichment, and Personal Finance. I am a proud 2015 graduate of Lester Prairie! After high school I attended Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) in Marshall where I graduated in December of 2018. I have a History degree with a 5-12 Social Science License. It is a wonderful opportunity to not only have been a student at the school, but now a teacher.
Besides teaching, I am one of the yearbook coordinators. If you are interested in joining, please email me about it.
Outside of school I love photography, being in nature, vacationing to Duluth, and making jewelry. You can often find me with a good historical book in my hand about World War Two or Minnesota History. I also have an energetic black lab named Cruze.Â
I am excited to get to know each and every one of you throughout the school year! Please refer to the tabs on the left for information. Please let me know if there is anything you need from me.
Go Bulldogs!

World History will examine different civilizations, which together create an overview of the evolving structure of world society. This course will help students to become familiar with the world’s societies and cultures, as well as with developments in politics, religious thought, philosophy, economics and literature. The course will allow each student to pursue individual historical interests alongside the standard curriculum. Through weekly assignments, course discussions, research projects, and exams, students will learn the critical aspects of World History. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it!
Welcome to Personal Finance!
Â
Personal finance is vital to everyday life as students transition into adulthood. Students will learn how to create budgets, plan for loans, maintain a credit score, balance a checkbook, and many other vital life skills!
This class is designed to help 7th grade students transition from upper elementary to middle school. This class is a semester long (two quarters), and then students will switch to a different enrichment class. Students will be examining what it means to be a responsible citizen both online and offline.Â
