Originally, what is now the "North Side" of Pittsburgh was the separate City of Allegheny. It had its own school system, and this was the high school. Nowadays, it's a junior high "magnet school" called Allegheny Traditional Academy.

You can find the school by driving around the "loop" that circles Allegheny Center. It's at the far northwest corner, right by the big park.
