Steve Heick - Middle School religion, Leader of Youth Discipleship

I have been with St. Peter since 2013. I earned a B.A. in Business Management from Bethel University, an M.B.A. from Loyola, and an M.Ed. from UIC. After undergrad, I did missions for a year living in Camden, NJ and Philly before joining the workforce in management for Wal-Mart and as a Service rep for Kraft. After 12 years, I was nudged to follow my heart and serve as a teacher. I worked for Chicago Public Schools for ten years before coming to St. Peter on a leap of faith.

I grew up in Barrington. I am the oldest of 6 kids, most of whom live nearby. My wife and I have two sons, one daughter, and two dogs. We keep busy with our large family (24 nieces & nephews). My favorite sport is skiing,  especially with my family out west, and I am a big football fan.

I see God working through St. Peter's students, staff, and families every day in many ways. God is a part of everything we do. I enjoy sharing God's truths in class and the privilege of pointing students to God in various situations, something I could not do as frequently in the public school system.
