Ms. Melissa DeStefano

Welcome to my web page.  I am excited for another school year.  Let me tell you about myself...
 
My entire teaching career has been within the Pottsgrove School District.  Currently, I am the Pottsgrove High School Life Skills teacher.  I started teaching in the Fall of 1990.  I have experience teaching Learning Support, but have spent most of my career as a Life Skills teacher. 
 
 
I am originally from Michigan, but call PA home.  I graduated from Boyertown High School.  I currently live in New Hanover Township with my adult "kids" and our cat, Cookie.  
 
My hobbies and interests are varied.  I have an active lifestyle which includes exercising, gardening, golf and being outside.  I enjoy supporting marginalized groups.   
 
I am the advisor of Pottsgrove High School's first GSA (Gender & Sexuality Alliance) called SOUP.  To learn more about SOUP, please click on the icon to the left. I am also the advisor of Falcon Friends - a wonderful club that encourages friendships between typical students and students with different abilities.
