The teachers focus on creative problem solving throughout the school day. They use the content of studies as a springboard for increasing investigation. Applications with technology are an important part of the instructional plan. A safe and stimulating educational environment encourages collaborative planning among teachers, parents and students. A long tradition of success in academics, athletics and the arts is assisted by a climate of positive parental support.
Students consistently score at the top of state and nation-wide assessments.
Therefore, we believe that Upper St. Clair High School deserves National Recognition. Working together for shared goals is the traditional theme of the annual Community Day and the inspiration for the recently formed Community Foundation. Community Day, which was begun by the high school Student Council and is orchestrated each year by high school students, engages community and parent support groups in a parade followed by games and entertainment. The whole day is devoted to community activities and all of the citizens of Upper St. Clair take pride in this special day. Our new school will be completed early in the year 2000.
