Mrs. Rachelle Meissner To All Instructors

Hello! Our family joined the Rise Up community in 2024 and have loved having a place to belong to in this homeschool journey. We have three children, ages 9, 6, and 1 -- and they sure keep life full and exciting. Our oldest daughter led us into homeschooling, and it is more rewarding than I could have imagined. 

I graduated North Central University in 2010 with a Pastoral Studies degree and have had the privilege of serving the local church in roles of administrative pastor, director of children's ministry, worship leader, and school of ministry director. My husband and I met after college while working at a small family owned diner, Tommy's Malt Shop in Chaska, MN. From there we dreamed of making our own mark on the hospitality industry and starting a business together. For the past ten years we have been able to live that dream and continue our passion for service through coffee catering in the twin cities. 

I'm excited to serve the Rise Up community and offer what I have to the building up of the students and families. My desire in each subject I teach is to inspire a hunger for learning, curiosity and creativity!
