Mt Lebanon Senior High School

I am a graduate of Mt. Lebanon Senior High School and had excellent teachers and academic opportunities. I went on to earn an engineering degree from a top tier university and found that my teachers from Mt. Lebanon Senior High were even better than my college professors! The opportunity to take AP courses and to be ahead of the game in college really helped my entire path in life. The teachers explain the material so well, my AP Calculus class was much more understandable and much more clearly explained by the teacher than by my college professor in a course with similar material! I always had that foundation of knowing what I could accomplish and learn in high school, a true confidence builder as a woman in a STEM field. Also, my high school honors physics class was taught by a true professional from Germany with a PhD who dressed the part of a college professor and treated us as such, building our confidence in advanced science and bringing in real-life examples and field trips to analyze applied physics! I am truly appreciative of and value my high school teachers for instilling that confidence, knowledge, and wisdom at such a young age that stayed with me for the rest of my life. Thank you to all the great teachers at Mt. Lebanon Senior High, your effort does not go unnoticed, your commitment to education and your sincere interest in your students' success will always be remembered!

This is a close knit walking community. There are seven elementary, two middle and one high schools. The elementary is k through fifth grade, the middle is sixth through 8th and the HS is 9 thru 12.. Music is entered at a young age and required for all students beginning at 3rd grade. Languages are begun in middle school although it is believed the program is being pushed back into the elementary schools within the next few years. The English programs are one national recognition and the math and sciences are year after year at the 96 and above proficient levels. The Arts programs are also nationally recognized. The school has a strong sports program which allows all levels of student participation. 99% of students continue on into some type of education after high school whether it is trade, community college, or university. 15% a annually are accepted into the top 20 schools in the country.

The children of wealthy parents are favored. This entire area is extremely snobby. Unless you have connections or wealth, run! Drugs and alcohol issues abound. Children who are struggling fall short. Glad we moved.

I am going into my junior year at the high school, and I love this school. The kids are nice, there are many clubs and activities (I personally partake in the superb theatre and choir programs). I have yet to meet a teacher that was mean to me. Since transferring to Mt. Lebanon, my grades and GPA have improved and I feel more and more prepared to take my SATS by day. Mt. Lebanon High School will help me get into the college of my choice, and I couldn't be more grateful.
