“The children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”
- Margaret Mead
On behalf of myself and the entire staff, welcome to Karcher Middle School! We have a strong staff that will challenge each student academically while also working to continuously improve their social and emotional side as well! Therefore, we are truly excited to have the opportunity to work with and alongside all of our students as we build lifelong memories, friendships, and academic growth. Our hope is that ALL of our students embrace the entire learning experience that is available to them at Karcher Middle School!
On a personal note… I have served the Burlington Area School District for 17 years! I began my journey in Burlington where I served as a high school science teacher for 8 years, then transitioned to an Assistant Principal for 4 years at the high school, and am now proudly starting my 5th year as Principal at Karcher Middle School. I have my bachelors from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in Secondary Science Education, Masters in Educational Leadership for Cardinal Stritch University, and completed my Doctorate in 2018 Cardinal Stritch University. I am honored to serve the Burlington Area School District where we focus on academic growth coupled with character development to ensure ALL students are college and career ready.
Respectfully and Go Demons!!!
