Alma Mater
Our Alma Mater, Peabody High
Our thoughts are with you;
And they’ll never die.
We’ll stand beside you;
We will never stray
From our Alma Mater
Maroon and Grey.
Our History
In the first decade of the 20th century, Pittsburgh
high school students had the opportunity to attend
one of the three high schools in the city: Central,
Fifth Avenue, or South Side. A new high school
centered in East Liberty was badly needed. The
old Margaretta Grammar School was offered to the
Central Board by the Highland Sub-District for use
as a high school, and in 1911, Pittsburgh Peabody
became the first district high school that children
from East Liberty could attend school.
The 600 children in attendance included the
students from the two smaller Central High School
branches, Osceola and Lincoln. The new high
school was named in honor of Dr. Benjamin H.
Peabody, a local physician who had served as
a surgeon in the Union Army before coming to
Pittsburgh in 1870. Dr. Peabody made his home
in the 800 block of North Highland Avenue, three
blocks from the school. In addition to practicing
medicine in East Liberty until his death in 1910,
Dr. Peabody was a member of the Highland SubPrinted on paper made with 30% post-consumer fiber
1
District School Board and served as Secretary of the
Board for many years. Dr. Peabody was known and
respected as a school director who devoted much of
his time and efforts to education.
A year after his death, the former Margaretta
Elementary School, which was built in 1902, was
remodeled and expanded to house Pittsburgh
Peabody High School. Over the years, Pittsburgh
Peabody underwent two major renovations,
one in 1925 and another in 1975. With the 1975
renovation, both the interior and exterior appearance
of the school was completely transformed; there
is little evidence of the original structure today.
Nonetheless, the heart and spirit of Pittsburgh
Peabody remains strong. Today, the facility still
houses approximately 600 students from the
communities of the East End of Pittsburgh including
East Liberty, Larimer, Highland Park, Friendship,
Bloomfield, Garfield, Lawrenceville, Shadyside,
Stanton Heights and Morningside. School Procedures
Bell Schedule
Please visit our website at www.pps.k12.pa.us or
contact our Parent Hotline at 412.622.7920 for the
bell schedule for your child’s school.
Tardiness
All students are expected to arrive at school no later
than 7:40 a.m. Breakfast will be served no later than
7:40 a.m. At 7:45 a.m. students are to be present
in their first period class. Students who arrive after
7:45 a.m. will receive a detention for their tardiness.
Any student who arrives at school after 8:30 a.m.
must be accompanied by a parent/ guardian or be in
possession of a doctor or court issued excuse. This
policy will be strictly enforced. In order to ensure
the safety of our students we require them to be on
time and ready to learn.
Early Dismissals
There may be times when you have to be absent for
part of a day, as in the case of a doctor’s or dentist’s
appointment. You should, however, make an effort to
schedule medical appointments for after-school hours.
If an early dismissal is necessary, follow this procedure:
• Bring a written request from your parent/ guardian.
All early dismissal requests will be verified via
telephone by a parent/guardian. If we cannot
contact your parent/guardian, we reserve the right
to deny your request for an early dismissal.
• You will be given an excuse to leave class at the
time given in the request. Early dismissals for
times before 10:30 a.m. will not be granted unless
you plan to return to school later in the day.
2
• Keep your early dismissal excuse and show it to
all teachers whose classes you missed to receive
your make-up work.
• Do not leave the building or miss any classes
before the designated time.
• If you do not bring a note from home or you do not
get the note you will not be allowed to leave school
unless a parent guardian comes for you.
Leaving School Grounds
Once you arrive at school, you are not permitted to
leave the building until the end of the school day.
Exceptions include participation in an organized
program outside the school or if you are officially
dismissed by a member of the school staff.
School Closings
When there is doubt about whether or not school will
be in session due to inclement weather conditions
or other emergencies, you should listen to local
radio and television stations. Information about
school closings or delays will be broadcast over
these stations as soon as decisions are made. If
an emergency arises during school hours or there
are schedule changes not marked on the school
calendar, information will be given at school. Listen
carefully to any announcements.
Procedures for Make-Up Work
When you are legally absent from school, you will
be given a reasonable length of time to make-up
assignments that you have missed. For absences of
one to three consecutive days, you will have one or
two days for every day you missed to make-up and
turn in work. If you are absent for more than three
consecutive days, you must complete all make-up
work within two weeks of your return.
If you are ill and have to miss school for an
extended period, your parents or guardian should
call 412.665.2055 to have a counselor obtain
homework assignments. When you must be away
from school for previously approved reasons,
obtain assignments from your teachers before you
leave. You should be ready to turn in completed
assignments on the day of your return.
Make-Up Tests
Students should make arrangements with their
teachers about missed tests or quizzes. Students
may be required to come before school or to stay
after school to make-up the test or quiz. However,
once grades have closed for the report period, there
is no make-up.
Student Dress Guidelines
Telephones/Electronic Devices
We view Pittsburgh Peabody as a culture of
learning. In order to maintain that environment and
prepare our students for the future, certain dress
rules and regulations must be followed. Students
must dress appropriately for school at all times
during the school day and at all school sponsored
activities.
You may not use the office telephones except in
an emergency. Leaving books, homework or other
personal objects at home is not an emergency. If an
emergency should arise, you must have permission
from your teacher to see your counselor or vice
principal in order to use the school telephone. No
ipods, MP3 players, CD players, etc. are permitted.
The following dress code will be enforced:
Cell phones are permitted, however:
• Skirts and shorts that are shorter than the length
of their finger tips extended at their side are
unacceptable. This applies to the front and back.
• Cell phones are turned off at all times.
• No low-cut or backless tops or spaghetti straps,
tank tops, or tube tops.
• Cell phones may be confiscated if they become a
disruption.
• Nothing that exposes the stomach.
Lockers
• Hats, hoods, bandanas, do-rags, headbands, and
coats are not to be worn in class: articles must be
placed in locker.
At the beginning of the year, you will be assigned an
individual locker in which you may keep your books
and personal belongings.
• Underwear should not be seen and may not be
worn as outerwear.
• Keep your locker locked at all times.
• May not be used at anytime for any purpose.
• No pajamas or bed clothes.
• Stickers and markings are not permitted in/or on
lockers.
• Pocket chains, metal spike jewelry or other heavy
metal paraphernalia are dangerous and present
problems at the metal detectors. These items will
be confiscated by Security.
• You should not share a locker with other students.
If you are found opening or attempting to open a
locker other than the one to which you have been
assigned, you may be disciplined.
• No clothing that promotes gang affiliation, weapons,
violence, or the abuse of drugs and alcohol.
• You are not allowed to change lockers unless you
are authorized to do so by an assistant principal.
• No clothing that has strong sexual content or
advocates discrimination of any kind.
• Please notify an assistant principal of any
problems with your locker.
• No flip-flops. Open-toed shoes must have a strap
around the ankle.
• You may go to your locker during the first five
minutes of the lunch period; otherwise, lockers are
off limits during this time.
At Pittsburgh Peabody High School, we consider the
dress code to be very important and students found
in violation will not remain in school. The student will
be given an opportunity to call home for a change of
clothing or may borrow alternative clothing. An early
dismissal will be issued if clothes substitution is not
established.
Food and Drink
Food and beverages are not permitted in the
classroom.
Pittsburgh Peabody High School is providing for
your convenience and security a locker with a builtin combination lock. Please keep this information
confidential and do not share the combination with
your friends. Pittsburgh Peabody High School is
not responsible for the contents of your locker. The
school system retains the right to inspect student
lockers for any reasonable suspicion, at any time
without notice, without student consent and without
a search warrant.
Selling
You may not sell any items on school grounds
unless the items are part of a school-sponsored
activity. No items of any kind may be sold during
class.
3
Smoking
Fire Drills
Students are not permitted to use tobacco or its
products anywhere on or near school grounds, or on
property owned by, rented by, or under the control
of the Board of Education or while on school related
trips or activities. This includes but is not limited to,
school buses, sidewalks, parking lots, athletic fields,
courtyards, and other campus grounds.
State law requires that Pittsburgh Peabody High
School hold a fire drill each month. Every classroom
has a specific route to follow to a definite location
outside the building. Information about these routes
is posted in the class room. It is important for you to
be familiar with fire drill procedures since fire drills
are very important exercises. They may save your
life someday. Do not treat them as jokes.
Student Assemblies
From time to time during the school year, there
will be student assemblies which you may attend
and in which you may participate. You will be
given information about these when necessary.
Assemblies are interesting and important parts
of your education. When you are at an assembly,
pay attention and do not make unnecessary noise.
Respect other students and the people conducting
the assembly.
Homeroom Period
Students are required to report to Homeroom at
10:06 a.m. and stay for the duration. State reported
daily attendance is taken during the homeroom
period and announcements about school activities
are made.
Hall Passes
During class time, you are not permitted to be in the
halls without an authorized hall pass. Hall passes
are intended for emergency use only. No passes will
be given to students to go to their lockers. Periods
1, 5, and 8 are closed periods and hall passes will
not be written. Also, the first ten minutes and last
ten minutes of every other class are closed periods.
A completed hall pass must contain the following
information: student’s name, teacher’s name, date,
time of departure, and destination.
Building Visitors
In order to ensure a safe environment for everyone,
visitors to Pittsburgh Peabody you must stop at the
security checkpoint in order to be admitted to the
building. Once checked, all visitors must go to the
main office to sign in and receive a visitor’s pass.
In order to leave the main office the visitor must
wait to be escorted by the staff member they have
arrived to see. If a visitor would like to meet with a
teacher he/she must have an appointment. Though
administrator and counselors are usually able to
meet without an appointment, teachers are unable
to meet at various times during the day due to their
schedule. Please be sure to contact a teacher in
advance in order to set up an appointment. No
visitor should leave the first floor without an escort
by staff.
4
During a fire drill, observe the following:
• Follow exit instructions. Stay in single file, do not
run, and proceed in an orderly quiet fashion to your
designated area.
• Your teacher will be the last one out of the room
and will bring the class grade book and keys.
He or she will accompany the class and will take
attendance once everyone has reached the
assigned area outside.
• Wait outside until the all clear bell sounds, then
return to your classroom in the same orderly way
you left.
Tornado Drills
State law requires that Pittsburgh Peabody
High School hold a tornado drill annually. Every
classroom has a specific route to follow to a definite
location inside the building. Information about these
routes is posted in the rooms.
Lost And Found
The Lost and Found department is in the Bookroom
which is located in the basement near Stairwell E. You
may go to the bookroom before or after school to look
for any objects that you have lost. If you find objects
during the school day, take them to the Bookroom.
Pittsburgh Peabody High School is not responsible
for personal losses, but the school will make every
effort to help find missing items. It is a very good
idea to mark clothes, such as jackets, with your
name. Gym clothes and tennis shoes, in particular,
should have proper identification.
The Bookroom is also the place for clearing up
matters of missing or stolen textbooks. You must
pay for missing or stolen books; however, if the
books are found later and returned to school, your
money will be returned.
Library
The purpose of the Pittsburgh Peabody High
School Library is to be an in-house information and
resource center for all the curriculum needs of both
students and staff. The materials available include
books, magazines, and computer-based resources.
Library hours are 7:45 a.m. to 2:53 p.m. Teachers
and students are encouraged to use the library.
Follow these procedures:
Student Services
• Students may come to the library with a Hall Pass
signed by their teacher. However, if there is a
prescheduled class, the transfer student may not
be permitted entry.
The School Student Assistance Program (SAP)
is used to identify students who are experiencing
behavior and/or academic problems that may be
associated with high risk behaviors, drug and/
or alcohol use, or other mental health problems.
The program provides a method of interviewing
and referring students to an appropriate schoolbased group or to an outside agency. The heart
of the SAP Program is the Core Team consisting
of school personnel who are specially trained. All
gathered information is held in strictest confidence,
and referrals maybe directed to the Core Team,
counselors, and/or the assistant principals.
• Teachers, staff and students may plan for group
activities. Pre-scheduling with the librarian is
required.
• Computer use in the library and throughout the
school is limited to curriculum-related research. You
and your parent/guardian must sign the Acceptable
Use Policy prior to any computer use. Any violation
of this policy will result in disciplinary action.
• Circulating (fiction and non-fiction) books may be
borrowed for 10 school days.
• Reference books do not circulate.
• Magazines do not circulate.
• Students are required to pay for all lost books. The
current replacement cost is the amount charged.
• Fines are charged on overdue books. The charge
is five cents per day.
Academics
Guidelines for Academic Success
Be prepared, have these items with you in class
every day:
• Pencils and/or pens
• Notebook
• Textbooks
• Completed homework
• Other class required materials
Give proper respect to your teachers and to
other students. Do not cause disturbances or
distractions. You have no right to interfere with the
education of others.
Take good care of your textbooks and other school
materials because you will have to pay for damaged,
lost and/or stolen books and school issued materials
such as calculators, uniforms, etc. Any unpaid
school debts may prevent you from attending
school-sponsored events or receiving your diploma.
Know the school rules and obey them.
The School Student Assistance Program (SAP)
Where to go for help!
• If you are unsure of the way to handle a situation,
speak to a teacher who can help you or direct you
to the proper office.
• Other sources of help are the school guidance
counselors and Intervention Specialist (social
worker).
• The school guidance counselors or Intervention
Specialist can help in these situations:
• When home-school communications break down
• When a student has attendance or behavior problems
Medical Services
The nurse’s office, staffed by a nurse practitioner,
is located on the second floor. Students are seen
for state-mandated services, emergency first aid,
and in-school management of illness and health
problems. Physical exams can be given for athletic
programs, work permits, driver’s license, and
college entrance. All medication administered in
school by the nurse must be labeled and must also
have a physician’s order. Parents and guardians
must advise the school of any medical problems that
require special care.
A hall pass is required to see the nurse. Only an
emergency situation is an exception.
Adolescent Health and Wellness Center
The Adolescent Health and Wellness Center, a
partnership with West Penn Hospital, is located in
the nurse’s office. This center offers a wide variety
of services. The center is staffed for four hours each
day by a registered nurse practitioner and a medical
assistant. A medical resident, with an attending
physician from West Penn Hospital as a supervisor,
is available four hours every week. In order to

criteria are invited to apply:

for the 9th, 10th, and 11th grade years. At least a 3.0
QPA with no Es on both the last and second Report
Card this school year.
Student Service Organizations
Organizations that give you an opportunity to
become involved with student government and give
service to the school include the following:
• Student Council – Every homeroom elects a
president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer.
Homeroom presidents serve on Student Council,
which meets at least once every month. Students
may also join Student Council as extended members.
Code of Student Conduct
Fighting will not be tolerated. Fighting causes
serious disruptions to the educational process;
therefore, any student involved in a fight will be
severely punished. This punishment will include
a definite suspension from school, a parent
conference, a possible hearing at the Board of
Education, a transfer from Pittsburgh Peabody and
possible legal action. Hazing, or intimidating other
students or forcing them to perform humiliating or
painful acts is strictly prohibited. If you are found
guilty of hazing, you will be suspended, and you
may face the possibility of a transfer. A conference
with your parents or guardian will be required. For
more information, refer to the Code of Student
Conduct.
Teachers and administrators will assign Central
Detention for one of the following reasons:
• Tardiness to class or school.
• Food and drink.
• Headgear, hats or coats.
• Failure to attend a classroom detention assigned
by a teacher.
• Cell phone use
• ipod use
• Profanity
Detention is held both before and after school;
morning detention begins at 7 a.m. in the main
office. After-school detention begins at 2:56 p.m.
and ends at 3:30 p.m. in the designated area. No
one will be admitted late.
Student Conduct at Athletic Events
All Pittsburgh Public Schools will enforce the school
district’s Code of Student Conduct as it may apply to
serious misbehavior at all athletic competitions. The
Conduct Policy will apply to both student athletes
and student spectators.
Students should be aware the Conduct Policy will
require all schools to enforce the rules regarding
student misconduct at athletic events. Disciplinary
action imposed by the school will be in addition to
any of the penalties imposed by sport officials. It is
the belief that this change will contribute to making
athletic competition better for student athletes and
spectators alike.

Community
Resource Guide
Attending a Pittsburgh Public School has many advantages. In addition to the education
and guidance that your child will receive while in school, there are also a number of
before- and after-school programs and activities designed to support and inspire students
outside the classroom.
To help you find the appropriate programs for your child, Pittsburgh Public Schools and
3 Rivers Connect have created a Community Resource Guide. The first few pages are a
general listing of services and activities that are available to you and your family through
various Pittsburgh organizations and resources city-wide. Following that list, you will find
additional resources that are available to you in the neighborhood around your child’s school.
The resources are grouped into six categories, including Arts and Culture, Career/Workforce
Preparation, Education/Academic Support, Personal Development, Recreation and Fitness,
and Support for Family. Each listing contains a description of the program or service, its
location, the grades the program serves, eligibility requirements, cost and more. Contact
information has also been provided to make it easy for you to ask questions, or to enroll your
child in a program. In the center of the guide, we’ve included a map to show you where each
program or service is located.
We hope that this guide will help you become more familiar with all of the opportunities
available in you neighborhood, and that you use it to find activities that you and your
family can enjoy as part of the Pittsburgh Public Schools’ community.
The Community Resource Guide is a resource of social and human services information. While the information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, 3 Rivers Connect and the Pittsburgh Public Schools makes

thoughts, feelings, and concerns in the sessions. They also meet other youth with the same issues, talents, and concerns at
events such as field trips with a manhood focused curriculum, and sports leagues featuring basketball, chess, checkers, and
