Penn Hills School District Comprehensive Plan 2026-2029
The Penn Hills School District's Comprehensive Plan serves as a roadmap to foster an equitable learning environment where all students are known, valued, challenged, and supported to achieve their full potential. The plan focuses on three key priorities: enhancing mathematics instruction through standards-aligned, conceptually focused practices to increase proficiency; aligning academic, counseling, and intervention systems to support student progress toward graduation and postsecondary goals; and implementing a coordinated, data-driven attendance system to reduce chronic absenteeism. The overarching vision is to prepare students for success in college, career, and life in a constantly evolving world.
