Advancing positive student outcomes and experiences is a multi-faceted effort that requires the collaboration of the entire Pittsburgh community. These efforts are coordinated through a series of deliberate plans, each working in tandem to help us achieve our goals for students and ensure excellence, equity, and efficiency.

We are proud to announce Pittsburgh Public Schools' new strategic plan, Students First Always, in All Ways: A Five-Year Strategic Plan to Drive Student Outcomes and Experiences. We developed our strategic plan with the invaluable input of our community and a thorough analysis of District data. Our plan is designed to achieve six priority outcomes that will guide our efforts over the next five years, ensuring the best possible education and support for all our students.

Future-Ready Facilities Plan

Pittsburgh is changing, and Pittsburgh Public Schools must be flexible and thoughtful in its approach to align and advance student learning and experiences. By making smart moves now, we can offer equitable opportunities to all students and utilize our resources effectively. Working together as one District, not as separate schools or communities, we can transform education. There will be tough decisions ahead, but our common goal is to provide the best for our children.
