Mr. Steve Kahlfeldt (MS Social Studies)
I knew I wanted to become a teacher when I was in grade school (St. Michael's Wheaton). I remember dressing up for Career Day in 5th grade and then visiting the education booth at the Career Fair when attending St. Francis High School (Wheaton). I worked towards it when I completed my undergraduate history and education courses at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign ('98), and it became a reality that September when I joined the staff at St. John the Baptist in Winfield for three years. After two years at St. James in Glen Ellyn, I was hired here at Winfield in August 2003. After two years of PE, I finally got my dream job of teaching Social Studies. I've had fun ever since and was able to get my Masters in Literacy from Northern Illinois University ('09). I am married with two daughters and a lab mix.
