Brookline has several local schools
that serve the needs of the neighborhood children. There are public and
parochial elementary and secondary schools, offering a variety
educational choices.
Brookline Regional Catholic
(1996-present) is a parochial elementary school located on Pioneer Avenue.
B.R.C. consists of students from Resurrection, Loreto and St. Pius parishes.
Resurrection Elementary (1909-1996) and Our Lady of Loreto Elementary
(1961-1996) merged in 1996 with St. Pius X Elementary (1956-1996). The
Diocese or Pittsburgh consolidated the three schools into one.
Public elementary schools include West
Liberty Elementary (1939-present) on Dunster Street, Brookline Elementary
(1909-present) on Woodbourne Avenue, and Carmalt Academy of Science and
Technology (1937-present) on Breining Street. Children in the middle school
years can attend South Brook Middle School, located near West Liberty
Elementary on Dunster Street.
For secondary education, there
are Brashear High School (public) and Seton-LaSalle High School (parochial).
Brashear opened in 1974 and located on Crane Avenue in Beechview, replaced
South Hills High School (1917-1973). Seton-LaSalle is a 1979 merger between
South Hills Catholic High School (1960-1979) and Elizabeth Seton High School
(1941-1979). Seton-LaSalle is located on McNeilly Road.
In addition to the fine academic programs
offered at Brookline area schools, there are also some excellent extra-curricular
and athletic programs to challenge our kids physically. Many of our school teams
have gone on to win diocesan, WPIAL and state championships in a variety of
sports.
For those with special needs, there is
Pioneer Education Center, located next to West Liberty Elementary on Dunster
Street. The school is equipped to meet the demands of the physically challenged.
From 1908 to 2003, there was DePaul
Institute, a nationally renowned school for the deaf and hearing impaired.
DePaul, once located on Castlegate Avenue, relocated to Shadyside after nearly
100 years in Brookline. From 1917 to 1977 there was also Toner Institute, a
military-type academy located on Castlegate Avenue.
Below are
links to some of the history of our local schools. We've included a few
class photos and pictures of various school athletic teams. There are
also a few stray photos of events, like fundraisers. |
