Chester Middle School's 8th grade students were privileged to hear The Messengers who were sponsored by Mrs. Morrison with GEAR UP.
The Messengers are a group of men who were formerly incarcerated as youth and they provide valuable coping tools for bullying, along with activities that support social and emotional learning and healthy living.

All Chester County School District high school students must have a ticket and show their school ID to attend a high school athletic competition without a parent/guardian.
No one will be allowed to stand, congregate, or “hang out” on the concourse, behind the press box area, or around the concession stand areas during the game.
Spectators must stay at their seats except when going to the restrooms or concession stands.

All phone lines were down at each CCSD facility earlier this morning. It was discovered that the cause was an external issue. As of 8:55 am, TruVista has confirmed that we are back up and running. We do apologize for the inconvenience.
