About North Allegheny School District . . .
|
North Allegheny School District clearly embodies the theme of “Great Expectations...The Best Is Yet To Come!” in both word and deed as a District dedicated to providing a high quality, comprehensive education to all students. The District serves the municipalities of Bradford Woods Borough, Franklin Park Borough, Marshall Township, and the Town of McCandless – which covers a total of 48 square miles. This attractive suburban-residential community (pop. 45,000+) is located twelve miles north of Pittsburgh. New housing developments and transferees moving into the area help maintain a steady enrollment. A solid and growing tax base helps maintain economic stability. North Allegheny is the largest suburban school district in Allegheny County and one of the largest employers in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. |
