Accused pervert teacher Christina Formella may not work at Downers Grove South High School in suburban Chicago anymore, but she can still be seen in its latest yearbook — not once, but three times.
Formella, who married her high school sweetheart in August, was arrested in March for raping a teenage student roughly 50 times.

She surrendered her “professional educator license” on June 17, according to documents obtained by The Post from the Illinois State Board of Education.
She’s been charged with 55 crimes, including aggravated sexual assault, aggravated criminal sex abuse and grooming. If convicted, Formella, 30, could be sentenced to 60 years.

The school’s recently released 2024-25 yearbook features Formella’s headshot as well as group photos showing her posing with the boys’ soccer team and JV girls’ soccer teams she coached.
Investigators allege she raped the teen at least 45 times at the school where she was a special education teacher.

She also raped the boy five times at her home during school hours, according to prosecutors.
Formella, who denied assaulting the teen and has claimed she was being blackmailed by her accuser, insisted she was being targeted because she was “good-looking.”

The illicit relationship began in January 2023, and the boy ended it in September, prosecutors said.
A school spokesperson told The Post the printing of the yearbooks began in March, prior to the arrest.
“Even so, Formella was an employee of the school district, and so is included in the yearbook,” the spokesperson said.
