Denise Stanton:  

Life After graduation, I attended Newberry College in Newberry, South Carolina on a football scholarhip. Upon graduation, I started teaching and coaching at Lassiter High School and then moved to Walton High School (Cobb County School System). I received my M.Ed. & Ed. S. degrees from Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama. I am married to the former Denise Dunn a graduate of Wheeler High School (Cobb County). We have been blessed with 3 beautiful daughters including Katie...age 11, Mary Claire...age 5 and Sadie...age 5 (you guessed it....identical twins!) My wife worked as director of employee relations with a software development company until the birth of our twin daughters in November of 1999. From 1999 until the present she has served a a full-time mom. I spent the majority of my educational career in the Cobb County School System. Of my years in Cobb, several were spent serving as principal of South Cobb High School before moving to the central office to serve as director of operational support services for middle & high schools. After receiving a call from the Cartersville City School System in March 2001, I realized a wonderful opportunity was available and that interaction with teachers and students on a daily basis was missing while serving in my position at the central office of the Cobb County School System. With this in mind, I had the opportunity to expose myself to another perspective of educational leadership by accepting a position with the Cartersville City School System. Therefore, I served as principal of Cartersville High School in Cartersville, Georgia for several years. While at Cartersville, the high school underwent a $22 million renovation and construction project. Also, the athletic program won the director's cup for having the overall best athletic program in the state two (2) years in a row. This marked Cartersville High School as the only public school to win this prestigous award in back-to-back years....Expand for more
