School Overview

Penn Trafford High School sits in Harrison City, a quiet community in Westmoreland County just east of Pittsburgh, where the suburbs give way to a more rural, small-town feel without sacrificing access to the city. The school's math and science scores rank among the very best in Pennsylvania, making it a standout destination for families who prioritize rigorous academics — particularly in STEM — within a tight-knit community setting. Families drawn to a slower pace of life with strong public schools and easy access to Pittsburgh's jobs and culture will find a lot to love about putting down roots here.
