Chester High School will be on a normal operating schedule on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, after repairs to the broken water main have been completed. We apologize for the inconvenience that may have been experienced today with the early dismissal.
We would like to share a little additional information regarding what transpired this weekend and into this morning. The district was notified over the weekend of the break in the main water line at CHS. Crews worked on it and completed a repair. Upon removing sediment to reach the water line break, maintenance crews discovered the damage to be more extensive and required a breach of concreate areas closer to the building to repair secondary issues that were found.
Again, Chester High School will be on a normal operating schedule on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
Due to a water main break affecting the facilities at Chester High School, the Chester County School District will dismiss students at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, October 26. The lack of water service has impacted restroom availability and the school's ability to serve lunch.
The district is currently mobilizing buses to provide transportation for students, and meals are being delivered so that students may receive lunch before being dismissed for the day.
Again, Chester High School will release students at 11:30 a.m. due to the water main break near campus.
The district will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates once water service has been restored, including any additional impacts to school operations.
Thank you,
Bryan Dillon
