About Mrs. Pensinger

My daughter and me this summer

I'd like to start off the blog by introducing myself briefly.  My name is Deborah Pensinger (students, you can call me Mrs. Pensinger or Mrs. P.).  I began my teaching career in the Central Dauphin School District in 2001, where I taught high school biology for one year and seventh grade life science for five years.  I came to Spring Grove Area High School in 2007, and have loved teaching biology (and a few other science courses) here ever since.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Susquehanna University and a Master of Science Education degree from Lebanon Valley College.

My interests include science, history, sports, and music.  In my spare time, I enjoy running, swimming, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.  I love the beach and the woods.  I currently live in Hanover, PA with my husband Matt, our daughter Maura, and our cat, Ellie.

While some people might describe me as quiet or shy, I actually really enjoy getting to know people, especially my students.  If you ever find yourself at Spring Grove High School, I'd love it if you would
stop down to room 210 to say "hello!"
