On Thursday, March 25, the A.W. Beattie Career Center Joint Operating Committee approved a revised hybrid instructional schedule, which will begin April 12. The Career Center will continue to maintain social distancing as much as possible. Students and staff will continue to wear face masks/face shields. A.W. Beattie’s revised instructional schedule permits students to participate in-person four days per week OR remotely five days per week. It also allows for the value of our hands-on learning to expand. Families that need to modify their previous selection for curriculum instruction are asked to contact Mrs. Holzworth at thea.holzworth@beattietech.com or 412-847-1909.

We need parents/guardians to sign up for a few shifts. This is a great opportunity to see our students enjoying one of the last big events of their high school years. Please consider spending a few hours to help make this happen.

Before and during the celebration:

Feel free to contact the event chairs with your interest.
