Allegheny River Headwaters Watershed Conservation Plan

Allegheny River Headwaters Conservation Plan
Chapter 1. Project Area Characteristics
Education
Area youth are enrolled at one of the nine
public, one vocational, and five private
schools throughout the region. At each of
these schools, not every student enrolled
resides within the project area. In most cases,
school facilities and residences of the majority
of students that attend them are located within
neighboring watersheds. Table 1-8 identifies
each school district, the municipalities within
the watershed that they serve, and schools that
obtain a portion of their enrollment from the
watershed area.
In addition, there is one university
located within the project area, the University
of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Pitt-Bradford is a
public, four-year college that offers
undergraduate degrees. Located in Bradford,
Pennsylvania, the university enrolls roughly 1,400 students annually.
