Mrs. Bruno: Principal at Donegal Intermediate School
Welcome to Donegal Intermediate School! I am Mrs. Bruno and it is a pleasure to be serving your family here at DIS as principal. Prior to joining the DIS administrative team, I served as the Assistant Principal with Eastern Lancaster County School District. My educational journey began at Millersville University, where I majored in both Elementary and Special Education. While teaching fourth grade, I obtained my master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Scranton University. I transitioned from the classroom to an instructional coaching position prior to becoming an administrator. During that time, I completed the leadership program through Shippensburg University. My passion truly lies in the area of learning. Although I am your principal, I still consider myself an educator and learner,because it is my responsibility to instill lifelong learning in the teachers and students I come across. As education continues to evolve, I want to ensure DIS focuses on providing each student with the opportunity to not only acquire more skills, but to have fun in the learning process as well! It is our priority to make every student and family member feel safe, comfortable, and respected when entering our building. Much like our motto says, we are striving to meet every need of every student that encompasses our one amazing tribe! I am honored to serve as your principal, and I look forward to working in partnership with you and your family.
Mr. Dunsavage: 3rd/4th Grade Assistant Principal at Donegal Intermediate School
I am very excited to be part of Donegal Intermediate School! Prior to coming to DIS, I spent over two years as an Assistant Principal at Conestoga Valley High School. Before that I worked as a history teacher at Donegal High School for 8.5 years. Previous to working at DHS, I worked for several years at the Milton Hershey School as a history teacher and Transitional Living Coordinator. Personally, my wife and I have been residents of the district for over a decade and are the proud parents of two Donegal students. I am proud to be part of the Donegal community and help serve the students, families, and staff of DIS and DSD as a whole!
