Donegal Elementary School was built in 1958 to accommodate the students from Jones Mill School and Donegal Borough School. These two schools provided classes for grades one through eight. When the two schools were combined, the seventh and eighth grade students were sent to Mount Pleasant. At the new building, there was one classroom for each grade, one through six, plus two rooms used for students in the larger classes. Kindergarten was also added at this time. When first opened, the Donegal Elementary School accommodated approximately 200 students.

Eight classrooms, a library, offices, a music room, and state of the art technological capabilities have been added to the original building complex. The building currently houses two classes of each grade, kindergarten through six and accommodates approximately 250 students.
