Hi!  My name is Denise McMonagle and this will be my 9th year teaching at St. Dorothy's School.  I live in Havertown with my husband and 4 children.  Elizabeth, my oldest, is in her senior year at Villanova and is studying nursing.  My son Jimmy is in his second year at St. Joseph's University. My daughter Laura will be a senior at Archbishop Carroll and finally Jenny will be in 8th 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 travelled to Nashville, Louisville, New Hampshire and Sea Isle.  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 third 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!
