Hello!
My name is Lily Rasmussen, and I am the middle school and high school science teacher at RISE. I’m so excited to get to explore our world (and beyond!) with my students using our innovative Summit curriculum!
I did not take a traditional route to teaching. Ever since I was a child growing up in the Magic Valley, I had a passion for exploring the world around me. In college, I pursued a bachelor’s in biology and then gained experience working in labs such as Bayer, Clif Bar, and the ISDA. It was at the ISDA that I realized that what excited me the most in my jobs was getting to share my fascination with science with others. So, in 2020, I started my teaching journey and absolutely fell in love with it! I especially love getting to work at RISE where all the teachers and administration share a passion for ensuring that students are truly equipped with all the tools they need to follow their dreams!
P.S. I also run 4 after school clubs! If you are interested in art, writing, coding, or playing games with friends, fill out the form and bring it to the office!
