Heidi and her husband have lived, worked, and raised their three children in Granger for the past twenty years. Beidinger is a professor of public health at Notre Dame and previously served as the President of St. Joseph County’s Board of Health. Her children attended Penn Harris Madison (PHM) schools for K-12 and received an excellent education.
Heidi worked at PHM for five years where she helped to launch the Academies at Penn High School. After 5 years, the graduation rate increased from 74% to 96%!!
“Our public schools in this district are an awesome example of what happens when we come together to fund a bright future for our kids. I believe that when we all get the support we need, we all do better!”
Heidi has worked her whole life to make our families happier and healthier: from protecting our kids from lead poisoning, supporting our mothers to have healthy babies, and helping our high school students to graduate.
- Hoosiers deserve the freedom to access quality, affordable health care.
- Hoosiers deserve the freedom to be educated.
- Hoosiers deserve the freedom to: make choices about their bodies, chose who they love, practice their religion and to be who they want to be.
On a much lighter note, I recently read Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel by Bonnie Garmus. A fun and easy read. Not to mention the protagonist is a strong woman:)
