Hi My name is Danielle Vandenberghe.  This is my 9th year teaching Computer Science at Midland Park Jr/Sr High School. Before that I taught 7th grade Math in another district. I graduated Montclair State University with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. I later received my masters in Middle School Math. While I enjoyed teaching math (and still do), I love teaching computer science. Computer science gives students a good problem solving foundation as well as teaching them programming. Two skills greatly needed in todays work force. 

At home I have my incredible husband Pete who I have known since high school. Together we have two children, Tyler and Alexis as well as our two fur babies Hugo & Hazard. In my spare time I love to read, dance and go to the beach (my entire family loves the sun), but usually you can find me on the soccer field on the weekends.  

I hope your student falls in love with CS as much as I love teaching it. Lets have a great school year.
