• PPS Teachers Matter!
     
    Every day PPS teachers make a huge investment in the lives of their students. Beyond their time in the classroom, teachers arrive early to prepare lessons and stay late to meet with students and support after-school activities. Teachers build lasting relationships with students, motivating them to achieve great things long after they've graduated. 
     
    Teachers deserve to be celebrated every day, but Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-6) provides a special opportunity for students, parents, and community members to thank teachers for their contribution to the future of Pittsburgh's children!
