Full Face Ski Masks Are Forbidden at Chester High School
Students are forbidden to wear full face ski masks of any type. They MUST be removed before entering the building and will not be permitted to be worn in the building.

Boys Basketball Beats Coatesville to Advance to District 1 Semi-Finals
On Friday Night the Boys Basketball Team continued their quest for a District 1 title by beating Coatesville in a thriller at the Fred Pickett Gymnasium. Coatesville jumped out to an early lead and carried that into the halftime break. It wasn't until the 3rd Quarter that Chester took the lead with their signature pressure defense. The lead continued to go back and forth between teams and Chester took control for good midway through the 4th quarter. Once the final buzzer sounded it was Chester with a 67-64 win and advancement to the District 1 Semi-Finals on Tuesday at 7:00pm vs. Lower Merion Aces.
