Our story begins

Milton Hershey School (MHS) announces a $350 million initiative to develop six state-of-the-art Early Childhood Education Centers in Pennsylvania. Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning (CHS) will serve children six weeks to age 5 and honor the life and legacy of Catherine “Kitty” Hershey, a visionary educational philanthropist and the wife of Milton S. Hershey.

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.
