Principal's Welcome
Principal Dr. Timothy Bianchi
Hello East Pennsboro Area High School Community,
Each day, I am honored to be the Principal of East Pennsboro Area High School. I feel the tremendous pride and expectations the community has in its schools.
My wife Kari and I have two awesome children, Ezzie (11; 6th Grade) and Lucy (9; 4th Grade). Kari spent nearly 20 years as a Health & Physical Education teacher at Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School, where she is an alumnus. A few years ago, she changed career paths to become the fourth generation to run her family’s business. Kari and I met at Mechanicsburg. I taught social studies and was an assistant principal there for 15 years. Ezzie and Lucy enjoy school and are involved in a number of activities. We spend a lot of time together as a family at their sporting events. Baseball is our favorite sport, and we root hard for the Phillies!
I was born in Scranton, PA, and was raised in Lancaster County, attending Lampeter-Strasburg School District and Millersville University. Both of my parents along with numerous other extended family members were teachers. My parents were both middle school teachers. My father finished his public school career as an administrator in the Lancaster County Career and Technology Center, and in retirement, was in the administration at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. My mother taught health and physical education at Lampeter-Strasburg. Involvement in team sports has shaped my values to a great degree. One of my proudest series of memories involved watching my younger brother, Jeff, play major league baseball for the Milwaukee Brewers. My younger sister, Our family has dedicated much in the line of service to others. My younger sister, Sarah, has a career as a registered nurse. I hope to extend the same ethic of public service at East Pennsboro. In May of 2023, I earned my doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from Shippensburg & Millersville Universities. I aim to combine this academic experience with eight years as an assistant principal at Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School to help lead East Pennsboro to future success.
As I immerse myself in what it means to be an East Pennsboro Panther, learning of the proud history and tradition of the greater school community, I also hope to impart several of my core values to maintain and strengthen an already thriving school. I hope that through example, I will help lead a high-energy, positive, welcoming school environment that helps prepare students for the next phases of their lives. I believe in our next generation of students and future leaders. They have talents and abilities that I envy, and I hope to create a nurturing environment where all students can achieve their definition of success.
