Highcliff Elementary School is a suburban elementary school located in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. The school's mascot is the Indians and its official colors are red and white. The original Highcliff Elementary was built in 1956. Highcliff Elementary students and staff were temporarily relocated at the vacant Northway Elementary School facility on Brown’s Lane in Ross Township during the 2009-2010 renovation and expansion project. The $13 million renovation and expansion of Highcliff Elementary School began in August 2009 and will be completed in mid-August 2010.

The new facility will enable enrollment at Highcliff to expand from 200 to approximately 500-550 students with an average of 20 students per classroom. The new school will provide a 21st century learning environment and will help to alleviate long-standing program and facility inequities that have permeated the district’s elementary schools.
