Elementary Administration
Mr. Justin Bruce
Elementary Principal
In July 2021, Justin joined the Northern Lebanon staff as the V3 Coordinator after 15 of elementary classroom teaching experience at neighboring Lower Dauphin School District. In 2023, Justin joined the elementary administrative team shortly after the new Northern Lebanon Elementary School opened its doors. Justin has his undergraduate degree in teaching from Millersville University and obtained his math coaching certificate, Master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction, and then later his Principal Certification through Penn State University.
Visitors to NLES might see Mr. Bruce walking around with a giant dog, an Irish Wolfhound named Odin who is an official therapy dog and pet to the Bruce family. At home, Justin and his wife, Lauren share two sons, Isaac and Ryan who are constantly on the go. Justin is a huge Philadelphia sports fan, so feel free to ask Mr. Bruce his opinion on the Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, or Sixers!
