On June 10, 1948, a joint venture between McCandless, Franklin, Marshall, and Bradford Woods, was completed to officially form North Allegheny Joint School District (NAJSD). The district was born out of a vision of collaboration among four municipalities to “furnish the best possible educational opportunities for the school children.” Between 1965 and 1966, the joint schools era ended, unifying the four township school boards under one and forming the North Allegheny School District (NASD) we know today.

Today, approximately 8,500 students attend the district in grades K-12 and a total of over 1,000 employees work together every day to create the best possible learning opportunities for those students. 

In the last 75 years, North Allegheny School District has navigated rapid growth, won championships and awards, celebrated arts and cultures, and become one of the northern region’s largest employers. And we are just getting started! During the 2023-2024 school year, we will celebrate our past while looking forward to our future as we prepare all North Allegheny students for success in a changing world.
