RGCS Founder’s

Hello and Welcome to the Founder’s Page!

The purpose of this page is to help you to get to know the individuals at the helm of Red Granite Charter School, the two women who took the school for a mere idea to brick and mortar (or brick and yurt).

Chamomile Nusz and Meghan Hughes co-founded Red Granite Charter School and have been diligently working on the project since May 2022. 

The impetus for Red Granite Charter School came from Meghan Hughes, a community mother and physician, who wanted to be able to offer her own children and the Wausau community the unique educational opportunity that is Red Granite Charter School. 

However, Meghan knew nothing about what building a school actually took and for this reason, she reached out to Chamomile Nusz, a woman who has made building charter schools her life’s work and someone Meghan had known since her childhood growing up in Amherst, Wisconsin. 

The rest, as we like to say, is history. Through these past years Meghan and Chamomile have developed not only a wonderful, effective and productive working relationship but they have also had the opportunity to rebuild a friendship which started when they were both involved in a musical theater troupe when they were teens and was then revived when they were both (much) older and married and mothers.
