PITTSBURGH, PA — Judging from the latest Niche rankings, a number of southwestern Pennsylvania area high schools have good reason to be proud. Niche, the Pittsburgh-based data analysis company, released its 2022 ratings of public and private high schools across the country. In Pennsylvania, a number of local schools rated among the highest. That should be no surprise, as many area schools usually finish at or near the top of such lists. But the familiarity of being a top-notch educational institution should in no way distill the aforementioned pride. Now for the rest of the Weekly Wrap: Heinz Hall is marking its 50th birthday.
