Carrie Rise
Teacher, Brownell-Talbot
Mrs. Rise has taught at Brownell-Talbot for all 26 years of her career. When she started at BT, she wanted to make a difference with students that had a desire to learn and were excited about school. In her classroom, she holds high the ability to solve problems. Some of her fondest memories are of students who worked harder than they thought they could and in the end found the solution they were looking for. Most recently, Mrs. Rise has helped institute the use of 3D printing technology in the classroom.
