School Overview

Pittsburgh Oliver, located at 2323 Brighton Rd in the North Side of Pittsburgh, occupies a historic building that has served various roles within the Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) district. Historically known as Oliver High School—a landmark institution in the community—the facility underwent significant transitions over the years. Following the closure of the traditional high school, the site has been repurposed to house specialized educational programs, most notably serving as the location for the McNaugher Education Center.

Today, the facility functions as an alternative education environment designed to meet the specific needs of students who require a different academic setting than a traditional comprehensive school. The program at this location focuses on providing intensive support, credit recovery, and behavioral interventions to help students stay on track for graduation. By maintaining a smaller, more structured environment, the school aims to offer personalized instruction that empowers students to overcome academic obstacles and successfully transition back to their home schools or toward post-secondary goals.
