Stephanie DeRoche: A Lifelong Member of the Everest Academy Family

Stephanie DeRoche’s journey with Everest Academy (formerly White Pines Academy) began in third grade, and her deep ties to the school have only strengthened over time. She fondly recalls its early days in a basement and a farmhouse, later moving to the Lithuanian World Center, where many lasting friendships were formed — bonds she still cherishes today.

Ms. DeRoche holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Dallas and a Master’s in Library and Information Science from Dominican University. With over 15 years of teaching experience at Everest Academy, she brings a passion for learning and a heartfelt dedication to her students. She not only inspires a love of education but also plays a special role in guiding students through their First Confession and First Holy Communion, supporting both their academic and spiritual growth.

A true example of commitment and heart, Stephanie DeRoche continues to be a beloved figure in the Everest Academy community.
