A Dream Realized

The first 10 students of what was then called the Hershey Industrial School started school in 1910. They lived in the Homestead, the birthplace of Milton Hershey. Classes were held in the same building.

With a philosophy ahead of its time, the school educated the whole child. The children received:

A stable home life

A rigorous course of academic learning

Additional learning in agricultural and vocational disciplines

Today’s students receive the same opportunities and more at MHS.
