My name is Heather Stepter. I have lived in Marion my entire life. This is my 13th year as a Reading Specialist at Washington School. I finished my degree at SIUC in 2006. After graduation, I returned to Southern Illinois University Carbondale and obtained my Master's degree in Reading and Language.
I truly enjoy my job as a Reading Specialist and enjoy seeing my students grow and develop as readers. It is amazing to see the progress they make from September to May, each gain is an accomplishment. I love being a part of the Washington School team!
