SeaPerch is an innovative national underwater robotics program that equips students with the resources they need to build an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). During this week-long workshop, students will build the ROV and practice driving it underwater. The cost of this workshop includes the cost of the kit. Each student will build their SeaPerch ROV and get to keep it at the end of the week. Students may be interested in following up this workshop by competing in the local Pittsburgh SeaPerch competition in March 2025.

Organized by

There are six public schools in the Upper St. Clair School District. Three are K-4 elementary schools - Baker Elementary School, Eisenhower Elementary School and Streams Elementary School; two are middle schools - Boyce Middle School (5-6) and Fort Couch Middle School (7-8); and one is a high school, Upper St. Clair High School (9-12). Eighty-two percent of students who graduate from Upper St. Clair High School go on to further their education at a college, university or junior college. The district's professional staff is comprised of nearly 300 educators, 79 percent of whom hold a master's degree or above, and a support staff of nearly 200 including custodians, nutrition center workers, aides, secretaries, maintenance and transportation personnel. There is great pride in the district for the many academic, artistic and athletic accomplishments. Our students consistently score at the proficient level or above on the various required Pennsylvania State System of Assessment and Keystone exams. Our students in the band, chorus, orchestra and dramatics are regularly honored throughout the area, and district athletic teams participate annually in championship playoff games at the district and state levels.
