Community School Pillar: Integrated Student Supports

Written By George Moura

Imagine trying to focus in class while worrying about where your next meal will come from, or where you’ll sleep tonight.

At PACS, we know that academic success depends on much more than what happens inside the classroom. That’s why one of our core pillars is Integrated Student Supports — connecting students and families with the critical resources they need to overcome barriers to learning.

This year alone, we’ve:

  • Opened a food pantry in Clairton and Duquesne School Districts to fight hunger head-on.

  • Helped students facing homelessness and trauma, find stable housing and graduate.

  • Connected hundreds of students with health and wellness services like dental visits, eye doctors, mental health and vaccines.

This is what it means to show up for kids — and we can’t do it without you.

Your donation today helps students across Pittsburgh find stability and support, so they can get back to the business of learning.

Thank you for believing in this work,

George Moura
