Who Am I?

Rimmey has been teaching since the spring of 2007. After student teaching and long-term subbing at Topeka High School, he was given his first "real" teaching job at THS, where he taught various Rhetorical Arts and Social Sciences courses. When he says he taught every SS class but Psychology or Sociology, that's not hyperbole. Additionally, from 2015 to 2024, he served as both the Social Sciences department chair and the Director of Speech and Debate. However, during the 2024 school year, he decided to teach closer to home to be more engaged with all of the activities that come from having three children in elementary school.

In the fall of 2024, Rimmey started his "middle school era" at Liberty Memorial Central Middle School in Lawrence, Ks. At LMCMS Rimmey has taught Social Studies 6/7 and is teaching Intro to AVID, Electronic Media, and Social Studies 7 in the spring of 2025.

​At the core of Rimmey's educational philosophy lies the belief that play and creativity are vital in rekindling our students' enthusiasm for learning. Beyond the classroom, he revels in quality time with his three children, each having names inspired by characters from the West Wing. When not consumed by teaching or parenting, you'll likely find him engrossed in the world of comic books, expanding his Funko Pop collection, getting lost in the world of Azeroth, or engrossed in a captivating tabletop role-playing game.
