Favorite Quote: “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education. – MLK Jr.

Mr. Stenoish, or Stenosaurus as the students affectionately call him, started working at PND in 2000. A native of Peoria, IL, Mr. Stenoish graduated from Bergan High School in 1970 and then entered the teaching field, which he views as his vocation. His favorite parts include working with students inside and outside the classroom, such as through coaching men’s basketball, and witnessing the students’ faith. In between his teaching jobs, Mr. Stenoish was a florist for 18 years, and in his free time, he enjoys watching basketball and other sports and visiting his grandchildren.
