Term: 2021-2022 School Year Fall Term

Faculty

Becky Jo Rahm

Hello.  My name is Becky Rahm and I am excited to start my second year teaching at Southeast.  I am also a math teacher in Luverne, MN, and will be entering my 20th year there this fall.  I received my undergraduate degree from USD in Vermillion, SD, and my master's in educational leadership, as well as my mathematics, credentialing from SMSU in Marshall, MN.

As a math instructor, I do understand that math is not everyone's favorite subject and does not necessarily come easily.  But I am willing to do what it takes, along with the student, to allow everyone an opportunity to learn.  Please contact me if you need to set up a meeting to discuss the course.  

Office Hours: Mondays 7:00-8:00 pm on Microsoft Teams by appointment or by email and I will respond within 24 hours.
