School Overview

South Fayette Township High School sits in the rolling hills southwest of Pittsburgh, in a community that's grown quietly into one of the most academically respected districts in the state. The school draws families who want rigorous, well-rounded preparation for college without the chaos of a large suburban district — and the tight-knit feel of McDonald and the surrounding townships makes it easy to put down roots here. If you're relocating to the Greater Pittsburgh area and academics are a top priority, the South Fayette corridor deserves a serious look.
