Expansion into Lancaster County

One year after the groundbreaking for our first of three centers in Dauphin County, CHS unveils plans to open the three Early Childhood Education Centers in Lancaster County. The announcement is particularly meaningful since Lancaster County is where Milton learned the art of candy making, and where Catherine’s philanthropic passion began to blossom.

Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning are subsidiaries of Milton Hershey School and will be staffed and operated independently of the Milton Hershey School core model.

Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
