Last week, Pitt CHS was honored to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Justice Scholars Institute, an initiative from the University of Pittsburgh School of Education to support select Pittsburgh Public Schools. Led by director Esohe Osai (picture 1) and program manager Erica Roberts, the program provides academic enrichment and extra college prep to students at Pittsburgh Westinghouse Academy 6-12, Pittsburgh Milliones 6-12 UPrep, and Pittsburgh Perry Traditional Academy.

Thank you to the incredible CHS teachers like Sean Means and Angela Flango (pictures 2 and 3), who help bring dual enrollment options to the program!

Last month, CHS Argument students put their debate skills to the test in the annual Argument Smackdown! 🗣

In the end, Quaker Valley School District's Zora Washington delivered an impassioned final debate to claim the belt from the reigning champions at South Fayette Township School District 🏆

Thank you to all the schools who participated!
