North Allegheny Intermediate High School (NAI, NAIHS) 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 current principal is Mr. Brendan Hyland, who was hired before the start of the 2007-08 School Year. The school has six letter- and color-coded sloping hallways, 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.

Wall Humanitarian Award/Scholarship" awarded to the student at NAI determined as the most giving and caring student for that given year, resembling Wall and his humanitarian efforts.
