Pittsburgh Public Schools

Pittsburgh Public Schools Student-Focused, Well-Managed, and Innovative We serve approximately 19,000 students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 in 54 schools.

Pittsburgh Public Schools is the largest of 43 school districts in Allegheny County and the second largest in Pennsylvania. In addition, Early Childhood programs serve children from birth to 5-years-old in classrooms across the city. We believe that every child—at every level of academic performance—can achieve excellence. Only by focusing on what we can best control – improving performance at every level of the organization – can we honor our obligation to prepare every student to take maximum advantage of The Pittsburgh Promise ® , while also preparing our public school system to be better able to thrive in an era of unprecedented competition. If you are new to Pittsburgh, you're moving to a new neighborhood, or your child is entering Pittsburgh Public Schools for the first time, visit the Registration/Enrollment page on the District's website www.pps.k12.pa.us. If you need additional help, please use Contact Us or call the Parent Hotline at 412-529-HELP. Disclaimer/Terms of Service

🎷 103 years young and still making music! 🎶

PPS is incredibly proud to celebrate The Honorable Judge J. Warren Watson, a proud Pittsburgh Westinghouse Academy 6-12 Bulldog alumnus who is poised to be recognized as the oldest active jazz musician !

At 103, Judge Watson took the stage at the Pittsburgh Jazz Festival, continuing a remarkable legacy of music, service and Pittsburgh pride.

Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog! 🐾🎺 We are so proud to see a member of the PPS family continuing to inspire generations more than eight decades after graduating from Westinghouse.

⚾️ Play Ball! ⚾️

This past weekend, Pittsburgh Perry Traditional Academy/Perry High School Principal Molly O’Malley Argueta took the mound and threw out the first pitch at a Pittsburgh Pirates game! 🖤💛

And that’s not all, a Pittsburgh CAPA student also got in on the action, helping say “Play Ball!” and represent Pittsburgh Public Schools on the big stage. 🎓⚾️

We love seeing our educators and students shining beyond the classroom! 🖤💛
