Donegan Elementary School

Donegan Elementary sits in South Bethlehem, a neighborhood with deep roots in the city's steel-making history and a vibrant, tight-knit community that's evolved into one of the more culturally diverse corners of the Lehigh Valley. Families here tend to be deeply connected to the neighborhood itself — this is a school where the community around it matters as much as what happens inside the building. Academics are a work in progress, with scores that reflect some of the broader challenges facing urban schools in this part of Pennsylvania, but for families invested in South Bethlehem's ongoing revitalization, Donegan is part of that story.
