History
West Chester originally served grades 1 through 8, but eventually grades 7 and 8 were relocated to Chester County Junior High School when it was built.
Later on, sixth grade was moved into North Chester, which was previously a school for African-American children.
In 1997, grades 4 and 5 were moved to the newly established Chester County Middle School, which previously housed Chester County High School.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
