Ms. Masch began working as a school social worker in 1985. She received her bachelor’s degree from UW-Platteville in 1972 and her master’s degree from UW-Milwaukee in 1979. She values having the opportunity to help others and, at the same time, learn and grow as well. Students appreciate Ms. Masch’s listening skills and she truly cares about their well being. She likes Cooper because it affords her the freedom to pursue her own interests and passions through the Mother-Daughter Book club, Ropes and Challenges (experiential education) and Love and Logic parenting classes. The school is a great place to work because the students are creative, motivated, and respectful. The staff and parents are supportive and caring.
