North Allegheny Intermediate High School (NAI) is a suburban high school in the North Allegheny School District located in McCandless, Pennsylvania, a community north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is one of two high schools in the district and serves grades 9 and 10. The school has six letter -coded sloping hallways, each based on the numbers of the rooms in that hallway, such as E hallway having rooms in the 50's, each with a mural produced by the art department, and a newer front wing built during a renovation in 1998. The building originally housed North Allgheny Senior High School (NASH) but assumed its current role in 1974 when the senior high school was moved to its current Wexford campus. Before 1974, the intermediate high school was located in what is now Carson Middle School, one of the middle schools in North Allegheny, which is now right above the hill from NAI.

NAI offers several music courses and activities, such as wind bands, string orchestras, choirs, and music theory and composition electives. Additionally, NAI students have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular music activities. Some examples are marching band, Strolling Strings, NA Symphony Orchestra, and orchestra pit for the musical.[3]
