Duke Di Stefano has been named Principal of Timpanogos Middle School, beginning in the 2026–27 school year. He will succeed Jim Judd, who will be moving into the role of Principal of Wasatch High School.
Mr. Di Stefano joins TMS this year after serving as Assistant Principal at Rocky Mountain Middle School, where he has led for the past three years. Prior to that, he served as Assistant Principal at both Wasatch High School, overseeing the Alternative High School, and Timpanogos Middle School.
A Heber City native and graduate of Wasatch High School, Mr. Di Stefano has dedicated his 22-year career in education to Wasatch County School District. He began as a Business & Marketing Teacher at Wasatch Mountain Junior High School before moving to Wasatch High School, where he taught for 12 years and also served as a Debate Coach and Student Government Adviser. He later served as the District’s Public Information Officer before transitioning into school leadership.
Mr. Di Stefano holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Information Systems & Education from Utah State University, a Master of Professional Communication from Westminster College, and a Master of Education in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Utah.
His leadership is grounded in a deep commitment to student learning and strong school communities. He believes that every student deserves access to a high-quality education in a caring environment where high expectations lead to high achievement.
“Education is a top priority,” said Mr. Di Stefano. “The fundamental purpose of schooling is student learning, and all children have the right to a quality education. An ideal school is a caring community of learners focused on student achievement, where high standards are set, and high achievement is expected.”
He lives in Heber City with his wife, Kristen, a Wasatch High School teacher, and their two children, London and Anderson. Mr. Di Stefano says he is proud to be part of Wasatch County School District because he loves working with exceptional students and professional educators.
