I have been enrolled in Chester High school since May of 2023 till now. And I got involved in football the first chance I could. they took me in like they already knew me and grew together during the season. There are some of the best teachers and counselors in the school that want to see me grow and be a successful young man. The some of concerning things that I noticed was the fighting and lack of trying to have good grades. I believe overtime the issues will be solved and Chester High School will flourish better than ever.
