The People Behind Milton Hershey's Vision for the School—Milton Hershey School

Описание: Milton Hershey School’s story began with remarkable individuals like George and Prudence Copenhaver. In 1909, Milton Hershey hired them as the first superintendent and matron of the Hershey Industrial School, now MHS. More than educators, the Copenhavers brought the Hersheys’ vision to life by creating a nurturing, family-like environment—a legacy that continues today.

Mr. Hershey said, "Much of the credit for the success of the lives of the students of the school was due and is due to the splendid work of Mr. and Mrs. Copenhaver." The story of the Copenhavers is a powerful reminder that behind every great vision are people who make it happen—with heart, humility, and unwavering dedication.
