Woodland Hills High School

What Woodland Hills High School does

Woodland Hills High School is a public secondary school located at 2550 Greensburg Pike in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, operated as the flagship high school of the Woodland Hills School District. Established in 1987 through the consolidation of multiple predecessor high schools in the region, the school serves students in grades 9-12 from the district's catchment area in Allegheny County. The school is led by co-principals Mr. Berchman Grinage and Dr. Shelly Manns, under the oversight of district superintendent Dr. Joe Maluchnik, and operates with a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio and 501-1000 total employees.

The school's core academic offering includes 17 AP courses, dual enrollment partnerships with the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC), career and technical education through the Forest Hills Regional Career and Technology Center (FRCTC), and an online learning option through Woodland Hills Online Academy (WHOA). Its differentiated programmatic vertical is the K-12 VEX Robotics & Computer Science Program, which spans feeder elementary academies and includes a lending library for students. The school also fields award-winning performing arts programs, having won more Gene Kelly Performing Arts Awards than any other school in the region, with nominations for productions including 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Hairspray'. Athletic and co-curricular programs include a spring musical directed by Mr. Thomas Crone, a junior musical with student-intern mentors, and an active athletics program currently undergoing facility expansion.

Woodland Hills High School does not generate commercial revenue; it is funded through public education appropriations from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Title I federal funding, and donations to the Woodland Hills Foundation. Student support services have expanded materially through external partnerships, including a Metro Community Health Center mobile clinic providing on-campus primary care, Craig's Closet providing formal wear via The Heyward House, and a food pantry serving approximately 20 students weekly through the Backpacks of Hope program. The school also hosts a Student Summit convening 13+ districts and maintains strategic relationships with the University of Pittsburgh, DoD STEM, and Hosanna House's aviation training program.
