North Allegheny 2022-2029 Strategic & Comprehensive Plan
There is no better time than now to focus our direction on the future. The North Allegheny School District 2022-2029 Strategic and Comprehensive Plan will serve as a roadmap for the District’s educational and operational priorities for the next decade. 

The NASD community encompasses many different people and perspectives. When we come together with a shared goal for our students, we become a more powerful District. Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, staff, students (grades 7-12), families, and community members were invited to participate in the strategic and comprehensive planning process.

Just like a compass provides direction, our plan is guided by four key principles: The North Allegheny Experience, Engagement, Support Services, and a Welcoming Environment. These areas are defined further in this plan; however, it is our hope that by following the direction of a compass our staff, students, and community will remember our guiding principles.

When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right.
