| The Highlands School District in Allegheny County, PA, formed from the consolidation of local communities (Tarentum, Brackenridge, Harrison, Fawn townships) in the early 20th century, growing from small, one-room schoolhouses to larger buildings like the
iconic Town Clock School (1919-1950) that housed all district students, reflecting the region's industrial past (Pennsylvania Salt, Allegheny Ludlum) and evolving into the modern district serving about 25,000 residents along the Allegheny River, known for its
Golden Rams mascot and commitment to education. The district operates both Highlands High School (9–12) and Highlands Middle School (5–8) in Harrison Township; Highlands Elementary School (formerly Grandview Elementary) (1–4) in Tarentum; Highlands Early Childhood Center (formerly Fairmount Primary School) (PK-K) in Brackenridge. The districts also operates a virtual academy for students in grades K-12.
