Washington Number One, Washington Elementary School, Washington Trade School and Washington Polytec Academy are some of the names of schools that have stood on the grounds of the current Washington Education Center. For almost 150 years it accommodated students and teachers, shaping the experiences and opportunities of thousands of Pittsburghers that walked through its doors.
As it transforms again, we begin work on WASHINGTON, a project that explores the history of the building through the experiences that happened within its walls. We do this by reaching out to students, teachers, administrators and any others that were connected to any iteration of this historic building and conducting interviews about their experiences.
We are still collecting the stories of people that went to school and/or worked at the building now known as the Washington Education Center. If you have a story you would like to share, please call or email:
