Principal
Hello! My name is Don Lipinski,
I am the principal at Saint Dunstan Catholic School. This is my first year at Saint Dunstan as well as my first principal position. I have over 10 years of teaching experience at the elementary and middle school levels. I have also coached high school athletics for over 10 years.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree from Adrian College where I majored in English and Elementary Education. While at Adrian, I played basketball and baseball. During my first few years of teaching I completed my master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Wayne State University. I have also completed the Academy for Aspiring Principals through Wayne County RESA.
My wife and I have been married for 9 years and have a beautiful 6 year old daughter who is in Kindergarten. As many of you know I am a HUGE Michigan fan and a very competitive person. I feel that every child can learn to the best of his or her ability. It is our job as educators to know the learning styles of our students and to teach them using all available methods.
Some of my favorite quotes:
