Pine Hill Education Center is located at 1635 East Delavan and serves grades 6 through 12. The current principal is Mr. Steven Wright.

History

Pine Hill was opened as an elementary school in 1960 at the site of the former Pine Hill High School. After several years, Pine Hill High School was demolished and the current Pine Hill school was constructed in its place. The new building's defining feature was the "open classroom" design which allowed for greater student interaction between classrooms. It began as an elementary school, later became a middle school for grades five and six, before finally switching to primary grades. The primary school closed in 2011, and the building now houses the district's alternative education program. The alternative program, opened in 2011, serves students who are referred from the Cheektowaga Middle and High Schools in needed of a smaller, more structured learning environment.
