Morgan May was born in Baraboo, WI and recently graduated from Carroll University. She earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology and Secondary Education Broad-field Social Studies with a minor in Cross Cultural Studies. This will be her first year teaching and she is so excited to become a member of the High Marq community. Being raised in Baraboo, she has spent a large part of her childhood outdoors with her family. This has fueled her with a passion for conservation and environmental action. 

Morgan’s educational philosophy is to give each of her students an equal opportunity to learn by providing a safe environment, as well as many areas for creativity and individualism. She loved getting the opportunity to practice this philosophy during her student teaching last year. Her student teaching took place in Waukesha, WI and she taught high school economics and criminal justice. She really enjoyed teaching these classes because she was able to create meaningful projects based on real world experience.

When Morgan is not working, you can find her kayaking, camping, hiking, or geocaching. She also has a passion for the arts and has spent a large portion of her life dancing, singing, and performing in theatre. If you start singing any ABBA song within hearing distance of her, expect a duet. 

Tiffany Lodholz was born and raised in Wausau, WI. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Geography from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in 2000 with minors in Environmental Earth Science, Geology, and Women's Studies. After graduating, she worked for 10 years at the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault as the Disabilities, Aging, and Rural Program Coordinator and the Senior Program Manager. In these roles she provided guidance on statewide policies and procedures, published articles and other resources, and provided education to a variety of professional audiences throughout the United States. Following her move to Marquette County, Tiffany helped to establish the Wisconsin Friends of John Muir and has served as the President since the organization's inception in 2013. She also worked as the Water Quality and Quantity Coordinator for Sustain Rural Wisconsin Network and the Grants Coordinator for Marquette County Healthy Communities, Healthy Youth before joining High Marq in 2017 as the Student Services Coordinator. In 2019 Tiffany expanded her role to become High Marq’s Field Naturalist. Her passion for placed-based, inquiry-focused education and helping students connect with and explore the outdoors is evident in our engaging weekly field experiences. In 2022, Tiffany received her Charter School Teaching license in Earth and Space Science and Geography to further her ability to support students in our school.

When she is not dreaming up ideas for Field Experiences, Tiffany can be found driving around the Country with her family as she works on her goal to visit all of the U.S. National Parks.
