Clairton was given a grant from the Heinz Endowment with the purpose to empower teachers so they can impact the lives of African-American and/or economically disadvantaged youth.

Clairton Writes! is the product of this grant. We are utilizing the funding to increase writing across the curriculum in our district. Although there is a focus group of students who are part of the Clairton Writes! team, all students in our building will benefit from this grant, as we are using these students to pass on what they learn to others.
Clairton Writes! is a group of students in grades 6-8. High school AP students are working as mentors to the 6-8th grade students. The first meeting took place on Saturday, November 8 from 9:30 a.m. -1:30 p.m. at the middle school. We had 13 middle schoolers and 2 high schoolers attend. Students worked collaboratively to write songs which were then recorded.
