Upper St. Clair supports 16 parks and fields totaling approximately 733 acres for the use and enjoyment of Township residents and organizations.

Three are elementary schools - Baker, Eisenhower and Streams (K-4), two middle schools - Boyce (5-6) and Fort Couch (7-8), and our senior high school (9-12).
It may be of interest for you to know that 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. We have a professional staff of 285 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.
Our curriculum program is developed directly by the classroom teachers. Each year a district-wide curriculum panel reviews every recommendation that the teachers and the departments have made for revisions, modifications or improvements in 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 teacher 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.
