Suburban Pittsburgh School District To Build New Elementary Building

MUNHALL, PA — The Steel Valley School District will consolidate its current two elementary schools into a new one that will put the district's entire student body on one campus.

School directors on Thursday awarded a general construction contract to Rycon Construction Inc. to build the new Steel Valley Elementary School. The building is expected to be completed in August 2026 in time for the start of the 2026-27 school year.

“The creation of this new school will be a historic achievement for the Steel Valley School District," superintendent Bryan Macuga said in a release. "Bringing together two elementary schools and having all students, kindergarten through 12th grade, learning on one campus, will transform how education is delivered within our district for decades to come."

The school will be built on the site of the district’s current administration offices in the former Franklin Primary on East Oliver Road. It will connect with the current Steel Valley Middle School/High School on Main Street in Munhall.

The current Barrett Elementary School, located on East 12th Avenue in Homestead, will be repurposed. Park Elementary on Main Street in Munhall will be demolished and the property will be sold.
