Teacher Bio

My name is Rachael Durham and this is my 9th year teaching (6th at PHS). I am certified in both Social Studies and English Language Arts and have taught a variety of courses and grade-levels throughout my 9 years including World History, World Geography, Reading Intervention, 6th grade English, 9th and 10th Grade Pre-AP English, and Academic Decathlon. I am also the Class of 2026 class sponsor.

My husband is a PHS graduate, so it is really fun to work at his HS alma mater and be part of the wonderful Pearland community! I have two beautiful children: a son who is almost 2, and a daughter who is 4. They love coming to campus with me and participating in the amazing extracurriculars that PHS has to offer. In fact, my daughter cannot wait until she will be dancing on the 'big stage' as a Pearland High School Prancer.

I am grateful every day for the opportunity to work with students and help them discover how brilliant and capable they are and I am excited to welcome and get to know the upcoming class of 2027 and experience the new adventures the 2023-2024 school year will bring!
