New Staff Alert! Kendrick Mcgahee, Floating Teacher
"Hello everyone! My name is Kendrick McGahee, better known as Coach K. I am super excited to join the Rosholt school district staff this upcoming year as a Floating Teacher. I am originally from Milwaukee, WI but I have lived in Stevens Point for the past 7 years. I attended UW Stevens Point where I earned my undergraduate degree, coaching certification and most recently my Master’s degree in General Education. I am the current boys basketball head coach at Rosholt, as well as the director of the national program, UTC Fire basketball club. I have two kids outside of my student athletes, Saint (2) and Willow (3months). They are quite literally my best friends!
In my free time I love to learn about new sports and the world. My background growing up in a large city was quite different than where I am today. So I am always open to new adventures and learning new things about life! I pride myself on being positive and trying to make the most out of every day we are all blessed to see! A favorite quote of mine is, “Adversity causes some men to break and others to break records!” I look forward to breaking records both academically and athletically! #GoHornets "

New Staff Alert! Jeff Christensen, Business Education Teacher
"I am Jeff Christensen and I am excited to join Rosholt High School and Middle School as the new Business Education teacher! I grew up in the small town of Scandinavia, Wisconsin, and I appreciate the sense of community in Rosholt. I am looking forward to contributing to the school and its students. I have over 16 years of experience in education, including teaching, academic advising, college readiness preparation, financial aid, student recruitment, and veteran services.
Before becoming an academic adviser at UW–Stevens Point, I spent seven years with UWSP’s Upward Bound program, where I guided first-generation and low-income high school students in preparing for college. Most recently at UWSP, I continued that mission by supporting undergraduate students, overseeing pre-nursing program administration, and leading recruitment initiatives.
I am pursuing my doctorate in education at UW–Stevens Point and am excited to bring both my academic background and personal business experience into the classroom. I encourage students to explore jobs, volunteer opportunities, and extracurricular activities as ways to grow personally and professionally.
I moved to Rosholt last year with my husband, our Pug named Miles, and our black cat named Salem. Outside of school, I enjoy gardening, boating, UTV riding, hiking, kayaking, board games, and playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game."

New Staff Alert! Welcome to Ms. Maya Kunkel, 4K-1 Special Education Teacher
"Hello! My name is Maya Kunkel, and I’m so excited to be joining the team as the new Special Education teacher for 4K through 1st grade.
I grew up in Kewaunee, WI—right along Lake Michigan and about 30 minutes east of Green Bay. My family owned a restaurant, and my mom is a teacher, so education and community have always been a big part of my life.
This past spring, I graduated from UW–Eau Claire with a degree in Unified Early Childhood. I’m passionate about creating a classroom where all students feel welcomed, supported, and challenged to grow. I believe in building a space where kindness, curiosity, and creativity are at the center of learning.
Right now, I live in Plover with my fiancé, Kobe, and our dog, Stella. Outside of school, I love reading, doing puzzles, traveling, taking walks with Stella, and cheering on the Packers and Badgers!
I’m truly looking forward to a great year and getting to know all of you!"
