Peters High School Township

What Peters High School Township does

Peters Township School District is a public K-12 school district and Pennsylvania government entity headquartered at 631 East McMurray Road, McMurray, PA, serving approximately 4,300 students across five schools: one high school (Grades 9-12, ~1,330 students, at the facility opened January 2021), one middle school (Grades 6-8, ~1,000 students, converted from the former high school in 2021-2022), and three elementary schools (McMurray, Bower Hill, Pleasant Valley). The district is governed by an elected Board of School Directors and funded through local property taxes, state subsidies, and federal grants rather than commercial revenue.

The district operates a standardized ed-tech stack: Canvas LMS (Instructure) for course content and conferencing, PowerSchool for student information and real-time grade/attendance access, ParentSquare (launched in 2025) as the unified parent communication platform across email/app/voice/text, Google G Suite for Education and Microsoft 365 for productivity, with additional tools including Naviance (college planning), Family ID (athletic registration), Hudl (athletic streaming), Hometown Tickets, Securly (content filtering), and Digital Hall Pass. Programs include 21 AP courses with 91% of test-takers scoring 3 or higher, comprehensive special education, English language learner support, vocational education, mental health and counseling services, and a broad athletic program competing in the WPIAL and PIAA (four-time PIAA Sportsmanship Award winner).

The district does not generate commercial revenue in the traditional sense; it is a non-profit governmental entity. Ancillary revenue streams include athletic and activity fees (e.g., All-Sports Pass $38 student / $78 adult, individual sport passes $10-$44, summer PE $240), facility rental income (Confluence Financial Partners Stadium, Budd Baer Natatorium, Rolling Hills Turf Field, Pleasant Valley Turf Field), food service operations, and corporate athletic sponsorship (AHN, Budd Baer, Confluence Financial Partners, RTI, FFSB2B). Distribution is exclusively through physical school locations plus mandated transportation (including non-public school students within 10 miles per Pennsylvania state law). Outreach uses email blasts, ParentSquare, School Messenger, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Comcast Channel 19, Verizon Fios Channel 39, and the district website.
