Mohawk Area School District is a public school system in Bessemer, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is the largest school district in Lawrence County by area, serving the boroughs of Bessemer, New Beaver and SNPJ, as well as the townships of Mahoning, Little Beaver, and North Beaver. The high school was built in 1963. In 1983, the elementary was constructed in an adjacent space of land to the high school. The district produces a newsletter/newspaper called "The Mohawk News" that is delivered to every addressee in the school district every season.
The bus garage holds 32 buses. The Lawrence County Career and Technical Center is an alternative facility for students in grades 10-12. In 2008-2009 the district uses School Reach to contact parents of students in the district about important events and emergencies.
Students who are in Grades 10 to 12 can attend Lawrence County Career & Technical Center (LCCTC). MASD has approximate 1800 students enrolled total at both schools. The district's radius is approximately 100 miles around, which is the largest enrolled school district in Lawrence County.

The renovations to the high school started in 2008. The plans were to add an auxiliary gym to the front of the school and an office/nurse's wing to the front, also. Other additions were and addition to the former "senior hall," now called the Jr. High wing. The hallway has science, English, and reading rooms. The expected end is Summer of 2010. With the beginning of the 2010-11 school year approaching, school officials are hopeful for the finishing of the construction. As of the fall of 2009, the halfway mark of the projects was made.
