From the desk of Dave Beranek Ed.S.
Welcome to the Principal's Office
It is my privilege to serve as the Principal of Marathon High School, a position I have held since 2000. My career in education began in Technology Education, with prior teaching experience in the Stevens Point, Menasha, and Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau School Districts.
My commitment to the Marathon community extends beyond the school walls. My wife, Lara, and I are proud residents of Marathon, where we have raised our four children. Lara serves as the school nurse for the Marathon, Edgar, and Rosholt School Districts.
