About+Me

Hi! My name is Maggie Haberny and I am originally from a small town outside of Cleveland, Ohio. After graduating from Kenston High School in 2005, I attended East Carolina University (GO PIRATES!!) and received my Bachelor of Science in Science Education with an Earth Science concentration in May 2008. After traveling during the summer of 2008, I began teaching at South Lenoir High School in Deep Run, a very rural community in Eastern North Carolina. I taught Earth Science, Biology, and AP Biology over my five years at South Lenoir, and also coached cheerleading and was involved with the North Carolina Science Teachers Association. Additionally, I received my Masters of Education in Science Education from East Carolina in 2011.

Along with teaching at South Lenoir High School, I maintained a relationship with several teachers at my high school Alma Mater. This allowed me to teach on a month-long geology field trip every other summer called the Kenston Field Experience. Through the Field Experience, we are able to take kids from Ohio all across the country, visiting National Parks and teaching about scientific subjects ranging from geology to biology to astronomy. I was able to go on the KFE trip when I was a sophomore in high school, so being able to participate in this trip as a teacher is a true joy for me.

In 2012, I decided that it was time for a change and began making plans to leave South Lenoir. My love of the outdoors, desire to live in a big city, and obsession with professional sports (yes, it's true) led me to begin researching schools in Denver. I found Venture Prep and was offered a job teaching chemistry beginning in the Fall of 2013.

I look forward to beginning this new chapter in my life with you, the Venture Prep students. I am committed to guiding each of you into an appreciation (perhaps even love?!) of science, and can't wait to begin sharing with you my passion for science and the world around me.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you have!
