Hello, My name is Josie Carman and I am one of the Pre-K Teachers at Highland Primary. I graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood and received my Early Childhood Special Education Certificate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
I grew up in Greenville and moved back there after college. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and playing with my nieces!

Hi! My name is Katie Wiese and I am a Pre-K teacher. I attended SWIC on a full scholarship for soccer, which still remains one of my passions, and received my Associates Degree there. I then moved on to SIUE where I got my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and Letter of Approval in Special Education.

Hi! My name is Nicole Zuccarelli, and I couldn't be more excited to be teaching here at Highland Primary! I grew up in the small town of Arcola, Illinois, but now have a home in Highland. I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with a specialization in Early Childhood Special Education. I absolutely love to teach and feel so fortunate that I get to help your children learn and grow here at HP!
My husband, Gabe, and I have an adorable black Lab puppy, Bow Fletcher (Bow, as in 'bow and arrow'); he keeps us busy running around and playing fetch for countless hours! I enjoy cooking, graphic design, and spending time with my awesome family and great friends.
