Information About

Winchester Thurston School




It has two campuses: a pre-kindergarten through grade 12 City Campus in Shadyside , and since 1988 a suburban, pre-kindergarten through grade five North Hills Campus in Hampton Township, Pennsylvania .

The school was created by a merger in 1935 of the Winchester School (established in 1887 ) and Thurston School (established in 1902 ). Originally an all-girls school, it became co-educational in 1991 .

Interesting Fact: Winchester Thurston recently became only the third high school in the country to perform the musical comedy "Hot Mikdao," a swing and jazz update of the Classic "Mikado" by Gilbert and Sullivan.
