Concord High School (CHS) is a public secondary school located in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware, United States, with a Wilmington postal address.[2] It is one of three high schools in the Brandywine School District.[1] There was a total of 1,014 students enrolled in the fall for the 2024–2025 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]
