Steger School District 194

Welcome to Steger Primary Center, where we believe we are truly better together!

As your principal, I am proud to bring over 20 years of experience in our district – beginning as a kindergarten teacher, then serving as a learning coach, assistant principal, and now leading this wonderful building. Having been born, raised, and educated right here in our community, I have heartfelt commitment to every child’s success.

Our dedicated staff works as a united team, embracing research-based instructional practices and student-centered approaches to ensure equitable learning opportunities for all. Together, we focus on high expectations, learning for every student, and developing the whole child – academically, socially, and emotionally.

Through strong collaboration among teachers, families, and support staff, we create a nurturing environment where every child can grow and thrive. Thank you for partnering with us on this exciting journey. We are better together - because every child deserves the very best start!
