Hi!  My name is Denise McMonagle and this will be my 10th year teaching at St. Dorothy's School.  I live in Havertown with my husband and 4 children.  Elizabeth, my oldest, graduated from Villanova in May and is working in the NICU at Lankenau Hospital.  My son Jimmy is in his third year at St. Joseph's University. My daughter Laura will be a freshman at Immaculata University this year and finally Jenny will be a freshman at Merion Mercy.    As you can see our family is very busy.  These last few months we were so lucky to spend alot of time together.  Our family dinner table was busier than ever.  I loved having them all home but as all of you, we are anxious to return to our work and schools.

Besides being a mom I enjoy reading, travelling, family movie nights, and any activity outdoors.  Unfortunately we were not able to travel too far this summer but am really looking forward to our next family trip wherever that will lead us.  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 fourth 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!
