Donel Forte, CSN

My name is Donel Forte. I am a mother of a 15-year-old daughter and I live locally. We have 10 animals: one dog, two cats, one bunny, one Bougie, and five conures. I was a paramedic in New Jersey from 2005-2010 and from 2008-2015 in Pennsylvania. I received my ASN from Excelsior and then got my BSN from Chamberlain College of Nursing. I hold a M.S. in psychology with a concentration in child and adolescent psychology from SNHU. I have been a CSN since May 2015, AHA CPR Certified, have a Level II PDE Certification, and a nationally board certified school nurse.

In my spare time, I love to run, especially since I have Celiac Disease and there is more carbohydrates in gluten-free food than regular items. I will run my third Dopey Challenge in Disney World in January 2026. That is 48.6 miles in four consecutive days, which is a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and full-marathon. I am so excited about working at Cheltenham High School and hoping for a fabulous year.
