Upper St. Clair School District
Developing lifelong learners and responsible citizens for a global society is the mission of the Upper St. Clair School District, served by a responsive and innovative staff who, in partnership with the community, provides learning experiences that nurture the uniqueness of each child and promote happiness and success. 98% of the students who graduate from Upper St. Clair High School go on to further their education at a college, university or junior college. The District’s professional staff numbers well over 300 educators, 73% of whom hold Masters Degrees or above, and a support staff of close to 200 including custodians, nutrition center workers, aides, secretaries, maintenance and transportation personnel.
The curriculum program is developed directly by the classroom teachers. The District does not review curriculum areas in a five year rotating cycle, but, instead, reviews each curricular area annually. Each year a district-wide curriculum panel reviews curriculum recommendations that may be formulated by teachers, parents, students or community members that revise, modify or improve the educational program. This guarantees that every year each area of the curriculum will be studied, analyzed and modified if necessary.
