School Overview

Tucked into Lawrence County in western Pennsylvania, Shenango High School punches well above its weight for a smaller district — especially in science, where it ranks among the top tier in the state. Families who want a tight-knit school community without sacrificing academic rigor tend to find it a great fit here. New Castle has that classic western PA character — proud, blue-collar roots with a genuine sense of community — and Shenango reflects that same identity while still sending kids out well-prepared for college and beyond.
