We offer a wide array of educational experiences based on educational best practices to help every child develop academically, as well as socially and emotionally.

Strong relationships are important for everyone, but especially for young people. Student athletes have a unique opportunity to offer mentoring support to their peers to help them learn and grow -- on and off the field! Pittsburgh Public Schools & Pittsburgh Allderdice recognizes the importance of relationships for our students and we're thrilled to announce that our very own Lukas Stead has been honored with the Jerome Bettis Leadership Award, presented by the Pittsburgh Steelers, The Mentoring Partnership, Giant Eagle and The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. This award recognizes high school football players from around the region who go above and beyond to be a leader in their community and offer support and encouragement to their teammates and peers. As part of this recognition, Lukas Stead will be honored in an on-field ceremony during an upcoming Steelers home game.

Quote from Dan Rooney, Steelers Vice President of Business Development & Strategy “Football is more than a game – it’s a platform for building leadership and character that extends beyond the playing field. Jerome Bettis embodies what it means to be a leader on and off the field and the Steelers are honored to recognize young football players contributing to their communities with an award in his name. By doing so, we are highlighting the power of high school football to shape not only better athletes, but better people.”
Quote from Jerome Bettis, Pittsburgh Steelers/ Pro Football Hall of Fame Running Back “I give back because of what I was given. As a young athlete, I benefited from mentorship both on and off the field. Throughout my career, I strived to be a positive influence on my teammates and in my community. I firmly believe sports—and athletes in particular—have the power to make a lasting impact on their schools and communities. That’s why I’m excited to have my name connected to this award recognizing the peer leadership of high school athletes in the Pittsburgh area
