Doerre Families, please join us in welcoming Ms. Denise VanGils, our new Assistant Principal at Doerre Intermediate!
Dear Doerre Family,
I am incredibly excited to introduce myself as your new Assistant Principal at Doerre Intermediate! It is truly an honor to join the Doerre family, and I am thrilled to become a part of this wonderful school community.
I am beginning my 26th year in education, bringing 20 years of rewarding experience as a teacher and 6 years as an administrator. Having taught and served in leadership roles at both the high school and middle school levels, I have seen firsthand how much students can thrive when they are supported by a strong, encouraging network.
My educational philosophy is simple: relationships and care come first. I am deeply committed to cultivating a safe, supportive, and positive environment where every student feels valued, heard, and inspired to reach their full potential. Equally, I am dedicated to supporting our incredible staff, collaborating with them to ensure they have the resources, encouragement, and partnership they need to succeed. I look forward to serving you all and working together to make this a fantastic school year!
Go Warriors!
Denise VanGils
Assistant Principal
Doerre Intermediate
