Hi! My name is Denise McMonagle and this will be my 8th year teaching at St. Dorothy's School. I live in Havertown with my husband and 4 children. Elizabeth, my oldest, is in her third year at Villanova and is studying nursing. My son Jimmy graduated from LaSalle High School in June and will be attending St. Joseph's University this year. My daughter Laura will be a Junior at Archbishop Carroll and finally Jenny will be in 7th grade at St. Pius X School. As you can see our family is very busy. You will often find me on the sideline cheering on my children in their many sports and activities.
Besides being a mom I enjoy reading, travelling, family movie nights, and any activity outdoors. This summer we vacationed in Hilton Head and Atlanta with family. I am always looking for new things to try and adventures.
I graduated from Boston College with a BS in Accounting and St. Joseph's University with a MS in Elementary Education and Reading Specialist Certification. My passion truly is to work with children and young adults and help them realize their potential. It is a wonderful gift to be able to work with the students of St. Dorothy and be part of the community.
I am looking forward to my second year as the Advanced Math Teacher. It is an added benefit to teach the same students for consecutive years and really see them mature and develop as young adults. My goal is to help the students grow spiritually, academically and socially while using their talents to become the best they can be.
My door is always open for students and parents to discuss any questions or concerns.
Best of luck to all our returning and new students!
