Simone T. Minner, MSW

School Social Worker, Hazelwood School District

Simone T. Minner, a native of St. Louis, is a graduate of Roosevelt High School and earned her Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work from University of MO-St. Louis (UMSL). She currently serves as a school social worker in the Hazelwood School District. For the past 17 years she has worked with middle school students, but will be working with high school students beginning in the 2023-24 school year. She also serves as the Bright Futures Coordinator for the district’s community partnership initiative.

Ms. Minner’s passion for her community is deep and whenever she is given an opportunity to be a voice or advocate, she eagerly accept the challenge. This passion was ignited as a sophomore in high school when she became a teenage health consultant with City of St. Louis Department of Health. She spent three years educating her peers on health-related topics. Later she learned of consultant opportunities throughout various networks such as UMSL School of Nursing, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, and St. Louis County Library. These networks introduced her to the Community Research Fellows Training, where she graduated in 2017.

Ms. Minner married her husband of almost 25 years right out of undergraduate studies. They blended their families and added two for a total of five children (four sons and one daughter).
