Statement from Chairman of the Board of Trustees

I am proud to serve as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Chester Community Charter School (CCCS). I have served on this esteemed board for the past eight years and have watched with a great deal of pride, the changes that have occurred at 5th and Madison in the City of Chester, and on Bethel Road, in Chester Township. Neighborhoods have been transformed by the construction of our school buildings, gymnasiums and other affiliated buildings. I am proud of the accomplishments that community members have achieved, not only through working at CCCS, but by contributing to the revitalization of our great City. The most rewarding work, however, has been watching our students thrive academically, socially, personally and communally. 

The school’s mission, “empowering students as learners,” is clearly working. It is very gratifying to see children engaged in the learning process, asking poignant questions, and energized and excited to be a part of a school culture that allows them to be the best citizen that he or she can be. Our wonderful and dedicated teaching staff tirelessly works to provide the best educational opportunities for our students. They are the backbone of our charter, and we are forever grateful to them for their unyielding support for our students. On behalf of the entire Board, I want to sincerely thank our teachers, teaching assistants, administrators and support staff for their tireless dedication. Keep up the great work! 

- The Honorable Spencer B. Seaton, Jr.
