Hello, I'm Kim Rahde. I live in Centerburg with my husband Chip and our son Jackson. Chip and I met when we both worked at Borror Corporation and have married for almost 28 years. Our son Jackson, works for Benchmark Concrete and our daughter Alexandra works for Dell Corporation. We live on a hobby farm with 3 horses, 2 standard poodles and a barn cat.

I attended the University of Findlay where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education (K-8). After subbing for 9 years, I worked as the Title Math teacher here at Centerburge and then as a 4th grade ELA/SS teacher in Gahanna. This is my first year as a 1st grade teacher at Centerburg. I absolutely love my class and teaching first grade. I am so happy to be back because Centerburg Elementary feels like home to me.
