Dr. Stencel first became a Principal at Ridgeway High in 2012.  He also is an instructor at Union University and has four college degrees. His mother is the one behind his inspiration of him wanting to become a Principal. She taught for thirty-seven years and because of her, Dr.Stencel saw what hard work and dedication from a teacher looked like.  So naturally, he chose a career that would put him in a position to help other teachers.
