It is impossible to capture all of Stephanie’s contributions to the School District.  Having over 30 years of classroom experience with music, drama, and technology classes, Stephanie’s approach to teaching is completely student-centered and highly collaborative. She is a transformative teacher and her positivity and enthusiasm is contagious. She continually provides meaningful experiences for every student as she encourages them to develop their own creative and musical identities. I have personally observed that her dedication and perseverance has enabled hundreds of students in the music and drama programs to thrive both here in Hollidaysburg and beyond graduation.
