Upcoming Events

Oct. 12 - Picture Make Up Day

CALLING FUTURE EAGLES - Open House - Thursday, October 8  - 6:00 pm

Please invite any friends or family that have eighth grade students or students thinking of transferring to Serra to our Fall Open House.  Families will have the opportunity to discuss curriculum and extracurricular offerings with our administration, faculty, coaches, and students. Visitors will travel through the school with a “blueprint” as they visit classrooms and other booths.

In addition, any student considering Serra may be an “Eagle” for a day by shadowing a Serra student. This is a one-on-one opportunity to attend classes, have lunch and experience a day as a Serra student! Shadowing experiences take place November through April and must be scheduled through the Admissions Office. Please contact Mrs. Lyons, Admissions Director at [email protected] or 412-751-2020 x134 with any questions.
