WILKINSBURG SHS

Wilkinsburg SHS is a public high school that is part of the Wilkinsburg Borough SD school district, located in Wilkinsburg, PA offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade.

To provide an accurate summary of Wilkinsburg Senior High School, it is important to note that the institution underwent a significant historical transition in recent years. As of 2016, the Wilkinsburg Borough School District made the decision to close its middle and high school programs and enter into a partnership with the Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) district. Consequently, students residing in Wilkinsburg in grades 7–12 now attend Westinghouse Academy in the nearby Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

The building located at 747 Wallace Avenue is a historic structure that served the Wilkinsburg community for many decades. While it no longer operates as a traditional functioning high school, the site remains a notable landmark in the borough. Today, the transition of the student body to the Pittsburgh Public School system reflects a broader effort to provide regional students with access to expanded academic resources, specialized programs, and extracurricular opportunities that were previously constrained by the smaller size of the original Wilkinsburg district.
