  • Description
  • In 1958 the architectural firm of Kuhn, Newcomers & Valentour, constructed the Sheraden Elementary School. The school is located at 3128 Allendale Street and was constructed at a cost of $467,025. The building houses two kindergarten classrooms, six primary classrooms, and five intermediate classrooms, as well as both a school library and a public library. The school takes its name from William Sheraden, a settler who moved into the area in 1822. The old Chartiers Township School, which was in use prior to the American Civil War, was one of three predecessors of Sheraden Elementary School. In 1887 the American Avenue School was constructed as an elementary and high school. In 1894 Sheraden Borough was officially formed, and in 1898 the Harwood School, another predecessor of Sheraden Elementary, was built. In 1907 the schools merged with the City of Pittsburgh school system. The school, which had an enrollment of over 200 students in 2003, is a five-grade elementary school that serves parts of the Sheraden and Westgate communities.
