Our Team
President
Hello, my name is Nolan Hamer, and I am the second President of the MUHS Starfish Foundation. Inspired by my brothers, Colin and Dillon, who founded branches of the Starfish Foundation at Marquette High School and St. John's Northwestern Academy, I decided to join them and support their cause to install boreholes in Malawi, Africa. I visited Malawi in the Summer of 2026 and saw how the boreholes installed there directly affected many schools. This experience taught me that through hard work and dedication, anyone, even high schoolers, can change people’s lives. I believe that through a little hard work and generosity, we can make a difference to our brothers and sisters across the globe.
