Denise Stouffer - Head of School

Head of School

Denise Stouffer has been working in education for over thirty years. Her father, a former math teacher, inspired her career by asking her to tutor children with disabilities in the school where he worked, and she attended. From that moment forward, she knew she wanted to be a teacher. Denise received her bachelor's degree in education from York College of Pennsylvania and her master's degree from Pennsylvania State University. She has had the opportunity to teach children in kindergarten through eighth grade. As a part of her master’s program, Denise completed a three-year research study on the impact of cross-curricular writing on student achievement that launched her career in instructional coaching, data-informed instructional practices, and school administration. Denise had the opportunity to work with multiple schools from Boston to D.C. on data-driven accountability systems. She fell in love with Delaware while working for the Delaware Department of Education. Denise believes the most prestigious title she has ever held would be that of proud Mother of a Marine (MoM).

Denise believes Providence Creek Academy is a special place due to the involvement of its school stakeholders. PCA's fusion of academics, arts, and athletics creates an environment where the community wants to be involved. PCA has demonstrated for over twenty years how a community with a vision can create something very special. She looks forward to continuing to support the PCA vision through continued community involvement.
