Welcome to Fort Pitt Grammar School, where we place a premium on quality in all that we do.
We are a progressive school with a definite goal in mind that is rooted in tradition but also looks to the future.
The four "excellences" of academic, community, appearance, and environment serve as the cornerstone of our ethos.
At Fort Pitt, we value cooperation among the members of the school community highly.
With the help of our committed Raising Aspirations initiative, we work to broaden students' perspectives and inform them about potential career possibilities.
As a part of the Fort Pitt Grammar School Academy Trust, we began working with two neighbourhood schools in January 2012 after converting to an academy in November 2010.
We have received the designations of "Leading Edge" school and "National Support School" in appreciation of our academic achievements.
