Hi!  My name is Denise McMonagle and this will be my 7th year teaching at St. Dorothy's School.  I live in Havertown with my husband and 4 children.  Elizabeth, my oldest, is in her second year at Villanova and is studying nursing.  My son Jimmy is a senior at LaSalle College HIgh School. My daughter Laura will be a sophomore at Archbishop Carroll and finally Jenny will be in 6th 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 I checked horseback riding off my bucket list on our family vacation to Hilton Head.   I am always looking for something new to try.

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 new role as Advanced Math Teacher.  I always became excited when I started Algebra with the 6th grade and now I'm more excited to go further into more complicated math concepts.  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!
