Associate Superintendent
Denise Huebner
Denise Huebner brings years of educational experience and student learning success to a new role as Associate Superintendent for Eastern Elementary Schools.
Ms. Huebner oversees 16 schools and serves as a member of the Superintendent’s Staff in shaping teaching, learning, and related services across the county.
The associate superintendent’s history as a one-time elementary principal provides a powerful understanding of K-5 student needs, challenges, and opportunities. Her middle school experience makes her ideally suited to prepare students to take the next steps on their educational journey. As an administrator, Huebner is committed to helping teachers enrich their classroom skills, and has the ability to mentor other colleagues to fuel greater student achievement. She gets parents involved in helping every student succeed, and cultivates strong ties to community service.
Under Huebner’s leadership, Benton Middle School expanded student engagement in the vital fields of science, technology, engineering, and math through increased participation and success in science fairs, and with innovative programs like “Introduce a Girl to Engineering.” Huebner ensured that Benton celebrated diversity, helping new English Learners to succeed, and all students to embrace one-another as assets to our community.
Huebner said, “I’ve always believed that focusing on the needs of each individual child leads to increased success for every student and every great school. I’m honored by the chance to apply my philosophy to making a larger contribution to the students of Prince William County. “
“Ms. Huebner is a great addition to our leadership team,” said Superintendent Steven Walts. “Her energy, experience, and creativity provide an environment that is exciting for children and staff, and welcoming for parents. I am confident that she will energize teaching and learning success across many schools, just as she has at Benton.”
Huebner holds a Master of Education from Regent University and earned her bachelor’s degree, majoring in special education, at Northern Illinois University. She joined PWCS as a teacher at Signal Hill Elementary in 2005, and served as assistant principal at Yorkshire Elementary before becoming principal of Marshall Elementary in 2011. During much of her tenure at Marshall, Huebner also served as principal of Woodbine Preschool. She was named principal of Benton Middle School in 2015.
