We take great pride in being a student-centered school district with diverse course offerings and hi U.S.

The Greater Latrobe School District is located in southwestern Pennsylvania at the foothills of the Laurel Highlands. It is approximately 50 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh and 30 miles southwest of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Route 30 bisects much of the district, which encompasses the City of Latrobe, Youngstown Borough, and Unity Township, with approximately 30,000 residents. We take great pride in being a student-centered school district with diverse course offerings and high academic standards for our pupils. We strive to be progressive in promoting teaching techniques that appeal to the various learning styles of pupils. During strategic planning, members of the community who represent various businesses, industries, and parent organizations challenged educators to develop and use assessment systems that are results-oriented. Our Strategic Plan emphasizes the development of communication skills and mathematics. Specifically, we expect our students to write and to write well. Additionally, students will be asked to participate in the development and delivery of speeches, and their ability to read and write will be assessed through standardized and local testing measures. In mathematics, we have implemented pre- and post-testing and quarterly assessment procedures at various grade levels. This program is designed to streamline the curriculum so that we avoid unnecessary repetition and prepare students to make practical application of concepts taught in mathematics.

Seventeen Greater Latrobe Junior High Engineering and Design students traveled to West Virginia University on October 30th to test their pumpkin devices by dropping them from the roof of the WVU Engineering Building (11 stories high!). Though none of their pumpkins survived, students had a great time watching the drops, touring the campus, and seeing all of the awesome projects that WVU engineering students had on display. They even got to meet the Mountaineer! This opportunity was a great STEM hands-on learning experience for students!

Greater Latrobe Senior High School students enrolled in Dr. Bompiani-Smith’s AP English Seminar course and Mrs. LeVan's Honors Anatomy and Physiology course had the opportunity to observe an open heart surgery at Allegheny General Hospital recently. The observation program provided by AGH allows students to observe the procedure from a window in the operating room. The surgeon wears a camera and microphone so that students can see and hear what is going on as well as interact with the surgeon and ask questions.

On Monday, November 2, 2026, World Language students celebrated Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead) by displaying their projects in the high school commons area during lunch periods. Students created ofrendas, or traditional altars, featuring meaningful objects, photographs, flowers, candles, and other decorations to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. The displays also highlighted Dolly Parton and Carla Jeffery, providing students with an opportunity to explore remembrance and celebrate the lives and contributions of others. In addition, Spanish 5 students made their own papel picado and acted as the spirits in the wind of those that we have lost. Through these activities, students shared their learning about the traditions and cultural significance of Día de los Mu***os while helping the high school community appreciate the importance of honoring loved ones, celebrating life, and preserving cultural traditions.
