Professor (ret.)
Millersville State University
After being frustrated by the pop culture icons and the super-rich athletes who are displayed as heroes by our society, Dr. Denenberg has spent much of his life learning about true heroes and sharing their stories with other educators. Dr. Denenberg spent his educational career in public schools as a social studies teacher, elementary school principal, assistant superintendent, and professor. Dr. Denenberg has been called one of the most inspirational speakers in America by thousands of fans across the country, with words such as inspirational, motivating, dynamic, powerful, humorous, creative, and captivating used by attendees who have seen him speak.
In his book, “50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet”, Dr. Denenberg motivates kids (and adults) to explore the lives of heroes at home or at school. Each page includes an important quote by each hero, a short biography about each hero, photographs; a section where readers are encouraged to extend their learning, and other books about that hero.
Dr. Denenberg earned his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from The College of William and Mary and his Masters of Education and Doctor of Education in Educational Administration from the Pennsylvania State University.
