 This is still the only Faroese folk high school, and it became the first school to teach in Faroese.The school was relocated to Tórshavn in 1909, and Rasmussen served as a teacher at the school until he retired in 1947.His teacher's position there was the source of his Faroese epithet "Rasmus á Háskúlanum" (literally, 'Rasmus at the high school').
