Chapter Leadership
Marsha Burton-High
Marsha is the Chapter Liaison for the Care to Learn - Hurley Chapter. She also serves as a Counselor for the Hurley R-I School District.
As a Liaison for the Hurley Chapter, Marsha works within the Hurley R-I School District to ensure student’s basic needs are being met and to raise funds to ensure Care to Learn – Hurley continues its mission.
Marsha loves Care to Learn. When what Care to Learn meant to her, she said, “We have been able to make many families lives a little less stressful during some very stressful times. When we had a family of three girls come to school and tell me how fun it was to buy back to school clothes with their mom for the first time and continue to show me new outfits when they wore them for the first time I thought this is exactly why Care to Learn is so important and so impactful for our students.”
