Welcome to Upper St. Clair...we're glad you're here!On behalf of the Upper St. Clair School District family, welcome to our district community. We are happy that you have chosen to make your home and raise your family with us. The school district has enjoyed remarkable success and, for that reason, has attracted families from all over the world who now call Upper St. Clair their home.The district's 3,900+ students are served within six public schools:Baker Elementary School (K-4)Eisenhower Elementary School (K-4)Streams Elementary School (K-4)Boyce Middle School (grades 5-6)Fort Couch Middle School (grades 7-8)Upper St. Clair High School (grades 9-12)Eighty-two percent of 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 is comprised of nearly 300 educators, 79 percent of whom hold a master's degree or above, and a support staff of nearly 200 including custodians, nutrition center workers, aides, secretaries, maintenance and transportation personnel.The curriculum program is developed directly by the classroom teachers. Rather than review curriculum areas in a five-year rotating cycle, Upper St. Clair teachers review 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. Although panel membership includes teachers and administrative representatives from the grade levels and subject areas, parents are welcome to attend the meetings and provide input into the curriculum development process.The Upper St. Clair School District is led by nine school board members who are elected at large and serve on a voluntary basis for four-year terms. The board members in Upper St. Clair have always had a keen interest in the educational program and the welfare of our students.There is great pride in the district for the many academic, artistic and athletic accomplishments. Our students consistently score at the proficient level or above on the various required Pennsylvania State System of Assessment and Keystone exams. Our students in the band, chorus, orchestra and dramatics are regularly honored throughout the area, and district athletic teams participate annually in championship playoff games at the district and state levels.Read about some of our awards and recognitions.You will find that there are few school districts where the parents are as actively involved as they are in the schools of the Upper St. Clair School District. Throughout the years, there have been times when the total number of volunteers annually was over 1,700 individuals.
