Campus

[edit]

The school is located just south of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Recent major renovations were completed in 2006, including the construction of a new science wing. The high school's new stadium, renovations to the baseball and soccer fields, and the addition of a new concession stand were all completed in the summer of 2007. As part of the renovations, the previously adjacent Kennett Middle School was relocated to Landenberg, Pennsylvania, in a newly constructed building of its own.
