At one of my jobs, I originally was told my my fellow coach we would get a raise and make near 15 dollars an hour. I then got a contract from the school that said i'd make a salary but it would come out to 6.75 an hour. I never agreed to the contract or turned it in and have been getting paychecks for 16 an hour. Am I in the wrong for putting in the hours and keep getting paid 16?

One last detail.
It is a private school. The original raise my other coach told us wasn't set in stone, i didn't sign a contract for that either.

Sounds OK to me! Without the contract you are working "at will" which is pretty much the standard in the US. But do keep in mind that lacking a specific employment you can be terminated at any time, and for no specific reason.

It would depend on what type of school employed you. If you worked for the public schools, the city or state set your rate, and is a matter of public record.
If it is a private school, you should contact a board member to clear you of any discrepancies.

No.
You were given an offer to renegotiate your pay, and you turned it down.
Nothing legally or morally wrong at all.
