Concord High School (CHS) is a public secondary school located in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware, United States, with a Wilmington postal address.[1] It is one of three high schools in the Brandywine School District.[2] There were 1,084 students enrolled in the fall for the 2019–2020 school year.[3] Kevin Palladinetti is the current principal of Concord High School.[4]

History

CHS opened in 1967 in response to a rapidly rising population that produced too many students for Brandywine High School, then in the Alfred I. duPont District, to handle on its own.[5] [6] Upon opening, it was located on the same campus as Hanby Junior High and taught only ninth and tenth grades.[7] Construction on CHS' own building was delayed due to a worker strike and did not open until January 1970, an entire semester after the planned date and still without its gym, auditorium, and swimming pool completed.[5] [8] [9] During the delay, CHS was forced to leave Hanby and move temporarily into Brandywine High School's building; the two schools taught on a rotating basis: BHS students attended in the morning and CHS students attended in the afternoon.[10]

Athletics

Concord is a member of Flight B of the Blue Hen Conference in the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA);[11] the Raiders compete in Class 2A, District 1 for football.[12] Concord fields a full slate of teams in all three sports seasons, including: crew, cross country, field hockey, football, soccer, volleyball, cheerleading, basketball, track, swimming/diving, wrestling, baseball, golf, lacrosse, and softball.[13] Concord's Athletic Director is Larry Jacobs.[14] Concord, and all high schools in the Brandywine School District, are partnered with ATI Physical Therapy to provide sports medicine services.[15]
