Why Pittsburgh Public Schools?

Because you want to join a mission-driven organization, committed to impacting the lives of children. We are committed to accelerating student achievement, eliminating racial disparities in achieving, creating positive school and district culture, and fostering innovation. As an urban public school district, our students are racially, linguistically, and culturally diverse. We educate and support the whole child and prepare every student to achieve academic excellence and strength of character, so that they have the opportunity to succeed in all aspects of life. 

 

You’ll enjoy living and working in a vibrant, diverse, and world-class city. While the steel industry may have put our city on the map, our innovation-driven culture has helped us grow exponentially. Our diverse and growing economy includes technology, business, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, the arts, and higher education. Pittsburgh is home to a world-class symphony, four regional parks and countless neighborhood parks, more than a dozen museums, and, of course, championship-winning sports teams.
