The Penn Hills Parents Initiative (PHPI) is a grassroots movement that is driven by the unity of allies within the community and parents of students attending schools in the Penn Hills School District, with a vision to transform our community into a thriving and vibrant hub of success and safety.

 

This organization aims to address the issues faced by Penn Hills, both within its educational institutions and the wider community, with the ultimate goal of nurturing successful, well-rounded individuals and fostering a safe and prosperous community.

 

Penn Hills, like many other communities, faces its share of challenges, from educational disparities to safety concerns. Recognizing these issues, the founding members of PHPI have come together with a shared belief that the combined power of allies and engaged parents can make a substantial difference.
