Students live in the City of Greensburg, Salem Township and the boroughs of South Greensburg and Southwest Greensburg for a total population of 28,300 residents. Greensburg, a third-class city, is the county seat and serves as the business, industrial, cultural and political center for over 200,000 in the central Westmoreland County area. The mission of the Greensburg Salem School District is for every person affiliated with the District to work collaboratively with the community in educating all students. This will be accomplished by recognizing the value of each individual and promoting personal growth in a challenging and caring environment which prepares students to become more productive and responsible citizens. Our schools must fundamentally restructure in terms of curriculum, instruction, assessment and organizational structure if we are to meet the educational needs of all students in a rapidly changing world.
All students have value and are worthy of respect.
Learning never ends. All students can learn. Communities, families and schools share the responsibility for education. The success of the strategic planning process depends on communicating benefits to all constituents. Developing and enhancing positive self-esteem creates an environment conducive to positive change.
