Penn Hills School District leaders Dr. Matt Dado and Renel Williams presented at the Global Impact Forum, showcasing PHorge Academy—a groundbreaking, future-ready program built on four pillars: Robotics, Entrepreneurship, Healthcare, and IT. The academy empowered students to explore real-world career pathways through innovation, creativity, and hands-on learning.
Penn Hills Elementary has opened The PHactory, a hands-on maker learning space located at the school’s entrance that showcases creativity and innovation in action. Designed by Innovation Institute Fellow Kirsten Kriss, the space invites students to dream, design, and build—putting learning proudly on display for all to see.
