It is with great sadness that we share that Dr. Anthony Hall, a member of the North Hills School Board, has passed away. Dr. Hall was recently elected, but he was a very passionate member of the school board and community. He will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

We are deeply saddened to share the news of the recent passing of school board member Dr. Anthony Hall.

Dr. Hall joined the North Hills School District Board of Education in December 2025. In addition to his service on the school board, he was a Pittsburgh Public school counselor and athletic director, as well as an educational consultant.

Allison Mathis North Hills School Board shared the following reflection:

"Anthony was a true public servant whose opportunity to serve was tragically cut short. He believed deeply in our schools, our students, and the promise of our community to live up to its highest ideals. Anthony was passionate about equity and creating opportunities for all students to succeed. He cared deeply about ensuring that every child felt seen, valued, and supported.

During his time on the school board, Anthony championed the values we strive to instill in our students and uphold as a district: respect, empathy, integrity, and a commitment to others. He approached his work with purpose, and he took great pride in serving our schools and community.

Anthony was also a spirited debater who never hesitated to challenge ideas and perspectives. He invariably always gave me something to think about. His willingness to advocate passionately for what he believed made him an important voice in our community.

On behalf of the District and Board of School Directors, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Anthony’s family and friends. We hold them in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. Anthony’s dedication to our students, his commitment to equity, and his service to our community will not be forgotten."

The just unanimously passed my bill to combat image-based sexual abuse. When sexually explicit images are shared without consent, our current law leaves many victims without recourse because it applies only in limited circumstances; when the perpetrator is a current or former intimate partner of the victim and acts with the intent to harass or annoy. This bill is designed to provide a path to justice for people whose most private moments have been weaponized against them, whether the perpetrator is a former partner or a stranger on the internet.

Thank you, Rep. Emily Kinkead, for this thoughtful piece on the state of public discourse and the growing need to recognize one another’s humanity, even when we disagree.

Our democracy depends on more than elections alone. It requires civic trust, respect for public servants and neighbors alike, and the ability to hold differing opinions without dehumanizing and threatening one another. We do not have to share the same politics, but we do share the same communities.

Rep. Kinkead’s article asks us to consider a healthier way forward, one marked with decency, restraint, and the understanding that political opponents are not enemies.
