Stefani Piening is a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing at MPE and at the Junior High School.  This will be her third year as a Bulldog, previously having served at Lincoln Public Schools in Nebraska for two years.  

Mrs. Piening is originally from Bainbridge Island, Washington and currently lives in Peoria with her husband Kurt and almost 11 month old daughter Audrey.  

Mrs. Piening graduated from Fontbonne University in St. Louis with a Master's degree in Early Intervention in Deaf Education and since then, has really enjoyed working in her field. 

In her free time, Stefani enjoys reading, going on walks, photography, scrap booking, watching music videos in ASL, working out and traveling.  This summer she had a blast spending every minute with her daughter and getting to visit immediate family.  

Mrs. Piening is looking forward to seeing her students from last year and meeting her new students as well!
