Penn Hills School District

Discussion about hate crimes and bias incidents, and what we can do to prevent them in our community.

March 16 from 6-8pm

It’s hard to believe there are only about 60 student days left in OUR current school year.  As WE close out 22/23, WE have a lot going on.  Here’s a quick summary:

This is the 6th WPIAL title for boys' basketball. The team advances to the PIAA tournament starting Friday, March 10 at home vs. Dubois at 7pm.

Our Penn Hills Elementary Kindergarten Team is excited to welcome new learners for the 2023-2024 school year! Any child who will be five years old by September 1, 2023 is eligible to register for Kindergarten this coming fall.

Eight Penn Hills Elementary students showed off their math skills when they attended the CalcuSolve competition at Duquesne University on Feb. 3. The event was sponsored by Allegheny Intermediate Unit, and the students competed on an individual and team basis to solve complex math word problems.

Students at Penn Hills High School can get a taste of university life while also earning college credits for the future by participating in the school’s dual enrollment courses, also known as college in high school.

We want to reassure our PHHS families and students that the temporary closure of select restrooms at PHHS over the past 5 days has been lifted, and the school has returned to normal operations.

PHSD would like to extend get well wishes to the Penn Hills alum who was shot in McKeesport yesterday while on duty with their police department. We would also like to extend prayers to the friends and family of his fallen police brother who died during the same police call they were responding to in McKeesport.

Based on a court order dated Thursday, February 2, 2023, Penn Hills School District (PHSD) has been directed to serve as a polling site for the Special Election to be hosted Tuesday, February 7, 2023.  Accordingly, PHSD is converting to a FULL DAY of REMOTE LEARNING on Tuesday, February 7, for all K-12 students enrolled in the PHSD.

Due to the threat of dangerous weather during travel times tomorrow, Wednesday, January 25, 2023, PHSD is invoking a Flexible Instruction Day (FID).  All students and most staff will follow the FID schedule from 10 AM – 3 PM.  Plant department employees will follow a more traditional work schedule and as directed by the Plant Department Director. Based on the severity of tomorrow’s forecast all transportation services provided by Penn Hills School District will be cancelled as well.
