Our Part of Pittsburgh
West Allegheny is the largest district, geographically, of the 42 school systems in Allegheny County. We have a population of approximately 19,000 residents in our 58 square miles. We have grown a lot lately. In 1993-1994 we had 2576 students in the district. In 2004-2005 we had over 3275 students. We are located six miles from the Pittsburgh International Airport and 15 miles west of the heart of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
After reading The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown our class discussed our neighborhoods. We come from many different suburban neighborhoods. Since none can actually be called a town, we decided to write about why our part of Pittsburgh is important to us.
