Denise Valentine Philpotts Returns to Full-Time Teaching

Denise is relinquishing her position as science department head at the end of the 2010-2011 academic year so that she can return to full-time teaching here at Trinity. Establishing our partnership with the Harlem DNA Lab, working tirelessly to foster greater cohesion in her sprawling K-12 science department, advocating passionately for a three-year science graduation requirement to validate the school's commitment to excellence in science education, Denise has accomplished much in such a short time, and we are grateful for her willingness to serve the school in this leadership role since 2009.
