Dominus Charter School students tour Penn Hills High School with opening delayed
Penn Hills School District held an open house on Thursday night following the news that a new charter school will not be open in time for this school year.
The district invited families to tour the high school as well as get to know the staff.
Nearly 30 students in 9th and 10th grades will be attending Penn Hills High School after Dominus High School in Wilkins Township failed to open in time.
Dominus was chartered through the Woodland Hills School District, but it was denied permission to switch to virtual learning after a tied school board vote.
The students shared what they are excited about when it comes to attending Penn Hills.
"They had an esports room, I saw some drones when we were walking in, I'm excited," said Jayden Allenmorant.
The Dominus High School was set to be the area's first entrepreneurial high school with four main pathways: culinary, healthcare, education, and technology.
