A piece of local history has a new look thanks to a group of North Hills students! 🛠️ Students in James Meininger's Advanced Home Maintenance class rebuilt the historic Perrysville welcome sign, which was unveiled this afternoon.

Through a partnership between Ross Township and North Hills, students applied their skills to restore the sign, which will welcome visitors for years to come. A plaque on the back permanently honors each student involved. Thank you to these students for leaving their mark on the community! We are !

It was an exciting day for North Hills yesterday as we hosted a delegation of educational leaders from Germany who came to learn more about public education in the United States! The delegates toured North Hills High School, met with students and staff, and engaged in meaningful discussions about instructional practices, school systems and educational policy, experiencing firsthand the pride, tradition, and excellence that define North Hills.

Participants exchanged ideas, shared challenges and explored innovative approaches to education. Conversations also included the possibility of a future student exchange program. 🇺🇸🏫🇩🇪

The group is visiting both rural and urban elementary and secondary schools across Pennsylvania to gain broader insight into American public education. Thank you to our guests for visiting, our students who led the tour, and to our staff and the PA School Boards Association for making such a meaningful and memorable day possible!
