Community Partnerships
We have been working hard to build relationships in the community to support the goals of our school. Currently, we are partnering with the following businesses and organizations:
- The Education Partnership provides donations of classroom supplies to our teachers.
- Grow Pittsburgh granted us with a beautiful Learning Garden so our teachers can take learning to the outdoors.
- Allegheny Intermediate Unit works with us to improve the climate of our school.
- University of Pittsburgh Center for Urban Education shares their experience and expertise with us so that we can ensure that our curriculum is more culturally relevant.
- The Stand Together program provided our students with a mini-grant to initiate the start of our Peace Room.
- Probation Officers support and guide our students and their families.
- Pittsburgh Police have been participating in our school events.
