      Katherine Coyle (Peoria)
     
     Class of 2007


Katherine Coyle is a passionate advocate for education.  On any given day, you may find her at one or all of four educational institutions she supports with her time.  When not teaching at Bradley University, she is an elected trustee for Illinois Central College, a reading tutor for inner city youth at Garfield Elementary and room mother for her daughter’s school, St. Vincent de Paul Grade School.

Coyle’s involvement with the Lincoln Series began in 2006 when her boss, then State Representative Aaron Schock, mentioned the program.  At that time, Coyle was working for Schock as his Community Outreach Coordinator in the 92nd House District.  She later went on to serve as Schock’s Field Director during his 2007-2008 run for Congress.

Outside of the field of education, Coyle is the 18th Congressional District Deputy State Central Committee Member on the Illinois Republican State Central Committee, Vice President of her homeowner’s association, Vice President of the Sigma Kappa Beta Nu Housing Corporation Board, St. Vincent de Paul Silent Auction Chairman, and was recently appointed by the mayor to serve on the Human Resources Commission. Coyle and her husband Peter have two daughters and reside in Peoria.
