Welcome Miss Zywicki

Benzie County Central School is pleased to announce the addition of Morgan Zywicki to our middle school staff.

Morgan will be teaching middle school physical education along with middle school health.

Morgan graduated from Glen Lake High School in 2020 and furthered her education at both Northwestern Michigan College and Central Michigan University.

Miss Zywicki is excited to join the Benzie Central community.  

She looks forward to working with students to help them learn and grow to become lifelong movers.

As a newly certified educator, She is very eager to use her newfound current best practices and fresh perspective in the classroom to equip her students with the necessary knowledge and skills to live a healthy lifestyle.  She wants to do more than just teach students about physical education and health.  She wants to guide them into kind human beings who are able to use their knowledge they receive from her to thrive in the world.

We are fortunate to have her join our team and Husky family.

Please help me in giving a very warm welcome to Miss Morgan Zywicki.

Mrs. Catina Crossman
