In honor of Memorial Day, Preservation Pittsburgh and PPS have invited the community to a Centennial Celebration & Unveiling of the Restored Peabody Memorial to Soldiers and the New Obama Academy School Quad.  

This Memorial, the most significant piece of art at a Pittsburgh Public School, has been preserved and restored for the next generation thanks to countless partners.  Join Obama Academy as the students of today honor those who served in the First World War and celebrate the long history of their school.  This occasion is marked with a new public space and the grand debut of the Barack Obama Academy of International Studies Alma Mater.
