Penn Hills Satellite Employee Leads Team to Championship

Omar White has worked at the Penn Hills Satellite Program since 2015. In his spare time he volunteers to coach with the Steel Valley Ironmen Football Team. Omar coaches on the defense working with the students throughout the school year. This past season, the Ironmen were on fire, not losing a game in the regular season and enforcing the mercy rule in 15 out of 15 games. They were able to play the WPIAL Class 2A championship at Robert Morris University. With that win, Omar and the Ironmen went onto Hershey where they would face Southern Columbia. Omar and the Ironmen crushed Southern Columbia 49-7.

​Omar continues to volunteer his time with the Ironmen, coaching and working with the students, while they condition in their offseason. While working with our students at the Penn Hills BEST program, Omar offers behavioral supports as well as educational help. Omar is a great role model for the students in our program, offering character education and building rapport with students and families.
