My name is Heather Dapuzzo and this is my 3rd year teaching at The Villages Charter School and my 16th year teaching overall. 

I was born and raised in Northern New Jersey and I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from William Paterson University and a Masters in Adventure Education from Plymouth State University.  

Before moving to Florida in 2023,  I was the Varsity Head Boys and Girls Tennis coach and taught High School Physical Education, Drivers Education, Health, and Fitness. 

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, taking my Mini Australian Shepherd "Rudy" out in the golf cart, playing tennis & pickleball, countless rounds of golf, and supporting my Steelers and Yankees!

Here at TVCS I had the pleasure of teaching HOPE and coaching the Girls Golf Team. 

I am looking forward to a great 2025-2026 school year!
