About Our School
Pittsburgh Mifflin PreK-8 is a neighborhood school located in the Lincoln Place community of Pittsburgh. Children from Pittsburgh's 31st Ward (Lincoln Place, Gates Manor, Hays, New Homestead and Hazelwood neighborhoods) make up the student body. Mifflin teachers utilize the district-adopted curriculums in all academic areas. Our strong academic focus is complimented with related arts classes in music, art, physical education and computer-based programming to support reading, writing and math initiatives. Mifflin is the proud recipient of a school performance profile of 71.2% score. This score is meeting the standard that the State expects for schools in Pennsylvania. In addition to our strong academic focus, Mifflin staff is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where all children feel secure and motivated to achieve. Our goal is for a Mifflin student to leave us prepared for a 2 or 4-year college or workforce certification.
Mifflin PreK-8 implements a school-wide behavior program called Mifflin PRIDE. This program focuses on the core values of Promise-Ready, Integrity, Determination, and Effort (PRIDE). Students who exhibit these values through their actions are rewarded in a variety of ways.
News
“One of my greatest joys as a teacher is working with former students who enter education.”
Pittsburgh CAPA English teacher, Mrs. Bosser met Alexa in 2004. Enrolled in both her CAS English and Yearbook classes, Alexa remembered that her teacher played absolutely no games and facilitated the best discussions when it came to studying literature. “You didn’t show up to Mrs. Bosser’s class as only her student; you had to show up as a reader and leader in justifying the perspective you offered.”
What neither of them knew back then was Alexa would return to her alma mater as a student teacher, substitute teacher, eventually climbing the professional ladder as proud principal of Pittsburgh Carmalt K-8.
all started at Pittsburgh Public Schools, where Alexa met inspiring teachers like Mrs. Bosser. “Sharing students and mentoring her as she flourished as an educator was incredibly rewarding. Now, as a district principal, Alexa positively impacts hundreds of students each year.”
