Woodland Hills School District

Woodland Hills School District Welcome to the official page for the Woodland Hills School District in Pennsylvania! The school district is part of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit.

The Woodland Hills School District was formed in July, 1981, and is located in the eastern portion of Allegheny County, approximately eight miles east of the City of Pittsburgh. The school district covers 13-1/2 square miles and includes the communities of Braddock, Braddock Hills, Chalfant, Churchill, East Pittsburgh, Edgewood, Forest Hills, North Braddock, Rankin, Swissvale, Turtle Creek and Wilkins Township. Geographically, Woodland Hills is bounded by the Monongahela River on the south and the City of Pittsburgh to the west. The Penn-Lincoln Parkway passes through the northern portion of the school district and supplies easy access to downtown Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Route 30 is a major east-west traffic artery which passes through the center of the school district. The entire area is served by the Port Authority of Allegheny County, which provides bus transportation to surrounding areas as well as within the school district community. Although composed of 12 municipalities, the school district is a comprehensive community that can provide for a variety of individual needs in housing, employment and social activities. There are over 21,000 residences located within the school district boundaries. The district is primarily a residential community and many residents look to the metropolitan Pittsburgh area for employment, entertainment and social activities. The close proximity of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University also provide residents with access to numerous educational and cultural activities. The district serves approximately 3,500 students yearly, providing them with a wide array of education and extra-curricular opportunities to develop academically, athletically and socially. Woodland Hills is dedicated to excellence in the classroom, with the primary emphasis placed on quality instruction and student achievement. Additionally, the district is committed to developing community support and citizen involvement within the district.

Please give a warm welcome to Ms. Angela Evans, our new assistant principal at Edgewood STEAM Academy. Ms. Evans and Principal Ms. Kelly Mann have connected really well, and Ms. Evans' background in PBIS and student support will greatly benefit our students.

Welcome to the Woodland Hills and Edgewood families!

The Woodland Hills School District would like to warmly welcome Ms. Angela Evans as the new assistant principal at Edgewood Elementary STEAM Academy.

A Pittsburgh native, Ms. Evans is a graduate of Schenley High School and Duquesne University. She earned her master’s degree and principal certification from Point Park University. Before joining Woodland Hills, she spent 15 years in the Shaler Area School District, where she began her career as a music teacher before moving into school leadership.

Ms. Evans brings a strong background in PBIS, student support, equity, inclusion, belonging, and multi-tiered systems of support. Most importantly, she brings a genuine love for elementary students and a passion for creating school communities where every child feels seen, known, heard, and supported.

We recently sat down with Ms. Evans to learn more about her background, her educational philosophy, and what she is most excited about as she begins this new chapter at Edgewood.

Welcome back, Woodland Hills!

Mother Nature tried to make us all grumpy, but not even the rain could wipe the smiles off of our faces as we welcomed our students back into our schools on Thursday.

There were hugs, fist bumps, some laughs, and lots of excitement for the start of a brand new school year.

From our youngest learners in our three elementary schools to the Woodland Hills Class of 2027, we are eager to see how our students learn, progress, and continue to develop into outstanding individuals.

The first day is in the books. It's a great day to be a Wolverine!
