School Fan Pages - Schools Available / How to join

With the launch of our new website this fall, we have enhanced our school pages by further developing them to be School Fan Pages.  Due to the interactive nature of these new pages, we will be rolling their usage out gradually, providing four (4) school pages with full functionality for a trial period.  This will allow the staff at MSA to monitor the usage, ensuring that we have incorporated mechanisms that will allow us to address inappropriate commenting or usage that could be seen as different than what was originally intended for this area.  Additionally, it will allows us to further test the area to provide for a positive user experience.  The schools that will be rolled out first will be the four (4) 2010 -2011 MSA Sports Cup winners - North Allegheny, Hampton, Shadyside Academy and Sewickley Academy.

School Fan pages have been made available for all District 7 / WPIAL schools as well as those schools that may not be part of District 7 but, compete in the WPIAL for at  least one sport.  In addition, District 8 / Pgh Public Schools and schools that play hockey as part of the PIHL are also included.
