Hello! My name is Stephanie Cover and I have been a Social Worker in District 162 for going on 20 years.  Previously, I worked for 2 years at SPEED District 802 in the PAL program.  I worked for about 4 years on the Therapeutic unit at St. Margaret Mercy's in Dyer, Indiana, and prior to that was a Case Worker for the Division of Family and Children in the state of Indiana. I worked for one year as a Youth Minister for St. Paul's Catholic Church in Macomb, Illinois.  I graduated from Indiana State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development and Family Life. I received my Masters in Social Work from Loyola University of Chicago.   I am married and have an 18 year old son who is a Senior in High School. Faith, Family, and a good education are very important to me. I love children and people and believe in the overall dignity of human life. 

Contact information: I can be reached Monday through Friday at Matteson Elementary School, 708-748-0480 x4236 or by school email scover@sd162.org.
