Steve Fletcher, Elementary School Coordinator
sfletcher@denbighbaptist.org

After graduating in Denbigh Baptist Christian School's first graduating class in 1980, I received a BS from Tennessee Temple University in 1984 and then returned to my high school alma mater. I have taught and coached at Denbigh Baptist Christian School for 25+ years. My first teaching assignment was 4th grade. I truly enjoyed those little ones and stay in touch with many of them to this day. After spending some time in High School P.E., I settled in at the Middle School level teaching Bible. It is a great fit for me. In addition to teaching Bible, I have the privilege of being the Elementary Coordinator. It is an honor to work with awesome Elementary Faculty and Staff.

My wife is very active in the music program of Denbigh Baptist Church. We are blessed with 2 daughters. Our oldest is at Liberty University and is enjoying all the freedom associated with being on her on (but with mom and dad still relatively close). Kristin is working toward her Education degree. My youngest is a total joy in spite of the fact that she is confined to a wheelchair as a result of spina bifida

I am also excited to return to the varsity ladies' basketball program. In addition to my administrative, teaching and coaching positions, I also work for the Peninsula Rescue Mission. I do graphic layouts part-time for them during the school year and help fulltime during the summer with their camp ministry.
